After reading this article in the Guardian today (http://goo.gl/cEsiV) I found this amazing cartoon from +Nature News & Comment showing briefly how this amazing piece of food technology is done. Growing meat sounds like a proper solution for a growing world population that doesn't like stop eating huge quantities of meat!

Pretty cool
Note how it still LOOKS like pig the whole way through the process. …now, THAT is impressive!
+Paul Reiber I do really like the style of this cartoon – as it's both informative and fun!
Then what would PETA complaint about?
@vicki newmath, does PETA complains about these techniques? As far as I know this research is actually privately funded by a wealthy famous person that actually hope that by using these kind of techniques to stop the need of farming animals.
BTW, a burger size peace of meat at the moment costs approx 200k euros….
was it some Russian dude that first tasted it and said it was horrible?
+Lorna Salgado according to this article http://goo.gl/NJBBV:
"He hopes Heston Blumenthal, the chef and owner of the three Michelin-starred Fat Duck restaurant in Berkshire, will cook the offering for a celebrity taster as yet unnamed."
I wonder how the energy consumption/pollution factors compare to raising farm animals.
It seems pretty intricately detailed. My question is… is it cheaper? Because if not, then potentially it wouldn't do all that well for our hunger issue… Fascinating, though. I must say!
+Chris Mitchell well, its pretty expensive at the moment (200k$ for a burger) but it's still far from mass production so I don't think you can make any statements yet about the economic feasibility of this "grown meat".
+Sander Timmer Thats quite an expensive burger! i wonder who would be the lucky few to try one for 200k$!
