MAASTRICHT, The Netherlands -- Scientists are on the verge of growing artificial meat in laboratories without the need for animal slaughter, according to a report cited Thursday by The Herald Sun -- with one expert predicting a stem cell sausage might be just six months away.
Researchers say the advent of "pain-free" meat produced from stem cells could save millions of animals from the abattoir and help the environment through substantially reduced energy, land and water use.
Dutch researcher Dr. Mark Post, of Maastricht University, predicts the first synthetic sausage could be just six months away.
"I'm hopeful we can have a hamburger in a year," he told New Scientist.
The stimulus reached alot of different countries. That's part of the reason it is so despised and was so ineffectual. What it actually funded did not do hardly anything for the USA.
Look it up. Grants for overseas studies were all over the place....courtesy of the stimulus.
I'm a little disappointed that everyone doesn't know this. It pays to know where your tax dollars are being spent, especially when its something like a stimulus that is not part of the every day recurring budget.

Just as I am concerned about additives & chemicals in real meat, I am equally concerned about anything artificial. This will definitely takes years of testing to see how our bodies adjust to this in the long run. Until then, I will stick to my fish, eggs, and veggies.

Post said the meat -- pig cells fed with horse fetal serum -- he had grown did not look appetizing because it was white.
how do they propose to get fetal horse serum without killing a horse?
