Coming Soon, The Test-Tube Burger: Lab-grown Meat!

As a result,  laboratory-grown beef, chicken and lamb could soon become normal.
The first ‘test-tube’ hamburger is only a year away, scientists claim. The scientists are currently developing a burger which will be grown from 10,000 stem cells extracted from cattle, which are then left in the lab to multiply more than a billion times to produce muscle tissue 'similar' to beef. The product is called ‘in vitro’ meat. Even if the initial results do not taste quite the same as proper meat, scientists are convinced the public will soon get used to it, especially if they do not have a choice. Researchers  have calculated that an initial ten stem cells could produce 50,000 tons of meat in two months. Bon Appétit
