“Scientists have adapted the cutting-edge medical technique of tissue engineering, where individual cells are multiplied into whole tissues, and applied them to food production.’With a single cell, you could theoretically produce the world’s annual meat supply,’ said Jason Matheny, an agricultural scientist at the University of Maryland.

“According to researchers, meat grown in laboratories would be more environmentally friendly and could be tailored to be healthier than farm-reared meat by controlling its nutrient content and screening it for food-borne diseases.”

“… Vegetarians might also be tempted because the cells needed to grow chunks of meat can be taken without harming the donor animal.”
