Introducing the $300,000 lab made burger

My take on it is source your food as there appears to be no label requirements.


stay tuned





Fetal bovine serum, also used to make vaccines, costs about $250 per liter, with as many as three fetuses required to produce each liter, according to a recent paper published in the journal Regenerative Medicine.
Any association with genetically modified foods is unwarranted, according to Post. “Cultured beef is normal beef,” he said. “It consists of cow cells.”
Lab-grown meat shouldn’t have any safety concerns and may actually be preferable to what’s available today, said Sandra Stringer, senior microbiologist at the Institute of Food Research in Norwich, England.
“We can see no reasons why this product would be less safe than conventional meat,” she said. “It is likely that it will be produced in sterile conditions and so could be much less prone to microbial contamination.”

Lab grown meat huh? Well that certainly doesn't sound appetizing. I don't know why science is so set on going against the natural order of things. I'll be keeping an eye out for more information on this, pretty unsettling stuff.

SOunds pretty gross imo. There is nothing about "cakelike" beef that interests me.
