Meatless Meat - Semi-Living Food
Semi-Living Food

This may look like a preschooler’s art project but, it is in fact a hunk of meat. Well, not meat exactly but, not… not meat, either. Scientists in Australia have created a ‘semi-living’ food. This project uses a tissue engineering technique to grow cells from living animals into bodyless animal parts. I can’t see vegetarians or meat-eaters wanting to chow down on this non-animal entree.

This technique makes it possible to grow meat without victimizing animals. However, it is still unclear how this meat can be presented in an attractive and appetizing way. (tfot.info)
