I'd hate to be stroma, so paranoid it hurts
I'd love to eat one of these meat patties though

Vegetarians might eat this since no animal suffered to produce the meat, getting a few cells is as easy and painless as using a comb.[/QUOTE]
I am a vegetarian and I would most certainly eat this as it was grown rather than slaughtering the animal for the meat however vegans I doubt would even touch it.

they certainly have a better idea than you do
[QUOTE=Stroma;41723981]scientists often also dont know what theyre talking about[/QUOTE]
And you do? Are you suggesting that you know better than people who have spent decades researching and studying things?

I wonder if the Insane Clown Posse is looking for new members...
also aeroplanes overcome gravity too, if they didn't they wouldn't be able to take off; besides, it's not like physicists themselves think that the current knowledge of gravity is complete by any means
when new theories are proposed and confirmed via experiment, they rarely completely replace something that was used before them; more often they envelop the older theories (since those were confirmed via experiment to be valid in certain circumstances), and also explain a wider set of phenomena

general relativity didn't suddenly make classical mechanics useless, we still apply classical mechanics at speeds much lower than the speed of light since it's a pretty damn good approximation (good enough that most engineering relies on it, and engineering gives us the human-made physical things in our world, and most of them seem to be working pretty well)

are you fucking kidding me
this is a prime example of what the rust subforum drags in

what's rust
This reminds me of the meat blob from Better off Ted...

The future of meat is probably in insects though, once you get over the "Ew, it's a bug" phase the benefits of eating them are impossible to deny.
[QUOTE=Stroma;41723873]it uses stem cells, which is not considered GM, but [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering#Definition]closely related to GM and genetic engineering can be used within them[/URL]; meaning it could be considered a GM food[/QUOTE]
It is not GM because on a genetic level the food in not altered. Not everything that involves cells is related to genetic modification or we (as well as all other animals, plants, and bacteria) are all GMOs.
Less cringe-worthy than a "feces" burger.
[QUOTE=EddieLTU;41723507]no thank you
sounds creepy[/QUOTE]
And this is why this thing will likely never kick off because of extremely paranoid people thinking it'll give you herpes or whatever, and generally badmouthing this otherwise extremely useful innovation.

[QUOTE=Kendra;41728092]The problem with the taste of this synthetic burger is that it's not fatty. Fat gives taste to meat, and fat is a lot harder to "grow", as there's no simple biological synthesis of fats. Therefore, while the meat will be easy to grow in a Petri dish, getting the taste in it is gonna suck and will be a reason for people not to eat them.[/QUOTE]
I don't see how that's a major obstacle. Food companies make artificial flavours all the time. They have laboratories dedicated to creating new flavours and mimicking others. I'm sure getting the taste right would be far easier than you think it is.

OH CHRIST, that's some Silent Hill shit right there; almost as creepy as those guddamn Twins.
I might be wrong, but if I remember correctly some years ago I read an article on here that said that patty costed 400'000$ to make.
Cool, I'd still rather eat the real thing though

yeah but this actually is meat, it's not some fake stuff

it costs [URL=http://rt.com/business/worlds-first-lab-grown-burger-055/]$332k[/URL]
[QUOTE=Antlerp;41732948]yeah but this actually is meat, it's not some fake stuff[/QUOTE]
It's not "meat". It's tissue, but it lacks stuff that gives meat its edible characteristics, primarily taste, since it doesn't have any fat.
Could be added, but it's a lot harder than growing some cells in a Petri dish which is what they did here in principle.
People saying this is the big solution to the world's food shortage crisis seem to be forgetting that this single sample cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in research, testing and technology... It'll be a long time before lab-grown meat is sold next to real meat in stores.
my mind is telling me not to eat those burgers. I've watched too many movies.

Got to start somewhere
[QUOTE=Stroma;41723770]it doesn't say that conclusively, it says that when exposed to the weed killer "the rats showed similar symptoms."[/QUOTE]
Well hunky fucking gee. Not the weed-killer's fault then! Obviously the presence of a white coat within 2000 miles of food's production means it immediately sprouts 20000 tumors and kills 100 babies and sets a library on fire!
Coming soon to a place near you.

I believe we'll live to see it though. In about 20 years this will probably be in supermarkets.
