Yes, you're right...it's very expensive...if it ever did happen that they

started making meat in the lab, I bet the initial price would be pretty

outrageous! All I keep thinking about is those scifi movies where they pop

in a card and out pops these litte cubes that are supposed to be your meat,

veggies, and dessert...LOL

 

Even as a scientist, I'd rather just stick to the real thing...and I also

think part of that is because I'm a lazy scientist and cell culture is just

way too much work for dinner!

Well I kinda thought that's what one gets from vending machines and from the

chilled food section of most supermarkets. You mean that food's REAL? Good

grief - my tastebuds must need a transplant.

 

Best love,
