Ah, apparently you haven't eaten at McDonalds, Mrjason. That ain't meat.
Here's a link since you forgot to include one:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23576143
It would be interesting to know how cheaply, both money-wise and environmentally, such meat can be made. I know it is supposed to be better for the environment, but I'd like to hear from third-parties about what the environmental costs are. Hidden costs are usually kept hidden. In the early years of solar panels, for instance, it took more electricity to make a solar panel than the panel could, in return, produce during its operational life. There was nothing environmentally friendly about that.
I'd probably eat it if it was any good. Of course I'd prefer to buy the kind grown only in organic petri dishes. And Will there be a free-lab variety?
I doubt vegetarians will eat it, but I could be wrong.
