Test-tube steak? PETA wants formula
"People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants to pay $1 million for fake meat — even if it has caused a 'near civil war' within the organization. The organization said it would announce plans today for the cash prize to the 'first person to come up with a method to produce commercially viable quantities of in vitro meat at competitive prices by 2012.'"

Dan, you only chose this story cos of the picture.
Silly geese.
More proof that the world will end in 2012.
the idea of synthetic meat is sickening...
Somehow seeing the map of a cow on a naked woman will make me appreciate every single bite from now on. I've always been a fan of the tenderloin.
Why make a meat substitute when meat fulfills its purpose flawlessly?
in vitro meat? wtf? I am veg, but that's rediculous!
One million isn't enough.
They'd better put 10 million.
If you think about it, all that research that you would have to do, would cost more than one million. Theres no way to make a profit, if they want competitive pricing as well.
Its just not logical.
The easiest way to make it (fake meat) would be to use some form of genetics, then process it to something that is not only artificial, but a renewable and widely used resource.
Then, if that resource that is the only way to create your ("pseudo-meat," if you will) doesn't exist, that TOO will have to be created from scratch. And lets not forget mistakes that are made, or failures as a whole.
Then, you would have to make sure that pseudo-meat is able to store just as well as regular meat, because if it doesn't, then there's no use in putting it out on the market.
Then, there's advertising.
Last thing you worry about:
Is it healthy?
Will it not give anyone a swift death, or disabili
wow
something tells me that they don't think its gonna happen.
hehe. you said "meat."
PETA= People Eating Tasty Animals
I can think of so many vegetarian dishes I'd rather eat, over fake meat. No fake meat!
Hmm, a steak sounds good right now.
Though to be honest I have not eaten any meat today, none left at home, but I've got lots of veggies and fruits that need to be eaten before they go bad, so thats whats on the menu today, Fruit Salad, and Greed Salad.
I might accidentally lose weight, and that would be ok.
Uhm, fake meat? No thanks. Gimme the real thing.
I think PETA would put a monkey as president or in congress if they could.
Yeah, PETA is out of their minds. I'd never want to eat synthetic steak. Gross.

Anyone tasted synthetic meat? Ghastly!!
Hope the weather was warmer for that lass than it is over here at the moment. Otherwise the meat would be frozen not fresh!
I always wonder what it is that makes the PETA people go naked on the street. I mean, there's making a point, and then there is being a exhibitionist. They must really love animals to take their kit off.
'nuff said...
Is she pulling on her nipple? She totally is.
Happy Earth DAY!
wack jobs......one and all.
You ever notice how when there are protesters in public they are always look good. If they really wanted to stop us from eating meat they would put a lot of naked ugly people outside - then we would associate meat with gross and no one would ever eat meat again... lol
Somehow this pic makes me want to eat meat! ha ha.
