Lab-grown hamburgers need no cows

Lab-grown hamburgers need no cows

The next time you bite into a juicy beef patty, here is some food for thought (pun not intended) – it could not be real beef as in, from a humanely slain cow, but rather, “meat” that has been grown in a petri dish somewhere. A research team is currently working on the idea of growing beef, with the project having Mark Post at the helm. Mark is a physiologist at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands, and his project has been funded anonymously by an investor who figured out that lab-grown meat might be the future answer to the world's hunger problems.
