"Pork from a Petri Dish"
by E.doc
Okay. So, I am a pretty big fan of science. I think technological advances are awesome and necessary and helpful, etc. Stem cell research? Greatest thing ever.
But I think I draw the line at growing edible meat from a petri dish.
Something freaks me out about not eating "real" food. Or rather, food that didn't come to be by natural forces...I think. I can't describe it. Read for yourself.
Do you think this can help solve world hunger?
Here's what treehugger.com thinks about it, and how petri-fied pork really does make sense.
