For either space travel, or large-scale production for our planetary market, scientists have been running experiments of isolating and dividing a single muscle cell into thousands. The result? Artificial meat.
If the previous frankenfood scares with the genetically modified corn and whatnot were bad, you just wait. <_>
No more veggie burgers for me, I'm having a pseudo-steak!
More information.
Of course many different cells must be combined to give the meat an appealing taste, and the cells must be stretched and texturized like they would be in the living animal.Jason Matheny said:"With a single cell, you could theoretically produce the world's annual meat supply. And you could do it in a way that's better for the environment and human health. In the long term, this is a very feasible idea."
