| These sheets of cells would be grown and stretched, then removed from the membranes and stacked to increase thickness and resemble meat.
RESEMBLE meat?! Christ!

| Wow.. science has created "Space Meat." It's scary when stuff I see in cartoons start to show up in the real world.

| Won't happen unless it's cost effective, which I assume it will be if you don't need the millions of gallons of water and acres of land.
I wouldn't mind cultured meat.

| Hey, if I could buy 2 pound of pure flesh at the grocery for a cheap price, I'd eat it.
My buddy Sean and I had the idea of breeding cow-whales. Cows that have been selectively bred for the sole production of meat, and have lost their hindlimbs and the ability to walk. Their mass would be so great they'd need to be suspended in large "grazing tanks". They would be 92% meat.

-Da Mose | We already have that, but on a smaller scale. It's called VEAL.

RESEMBLE meat?! Christ! | If it looks, smells, and tastes like meat AND doesn't kill or cause some horrible disease, I'd be willing to not read the label. Besides - having meat made out of "meat" would possibly be somewhat more appetizing than having meat made out of a strange bean... possibly.

| I think the journalist made a mistake when he reported that it would "resemble meat", since what they are suggesting is in fact, meat. Don't see the problem with that, but on the other hand, I'm vegetarian so I don't really care :-) | |
