In -Vitro Meat: From the Lab to the Home

Imagine eating away tasty meat which is not produced from livestock, but in the lab.

This was a dream, long realized by Winston Churchill and now Scientist Mark Post is trying to make this vision a reality. From the stem cells of animal waste in slaughter houses, new whole meat can be produced. They grown in petri dishes to produce muscle like strips which are packed together along with a little of artificial fat to produce artificial meat.

The product has been tasted by a few people, but there are not much positive reviews regarding the taste. The scientists plans to add in a  few more better tasting artificial fat and little of lab prepared blood and also increase the nutritional value of in-vitro meat.
The product is expected to be a little overpriced when it reaches the market, yet will be healthy and the price might come down with further experiments to meet the demands. This can do great good to the environment and that's the main reason why PETA has offered $1 million to the person who first launches it successfully in the market. Let us wait till August or Sepetember to see how welcome is it in the markets.
