….Costs by up to 90%
"Cellular agriculture – the production of meat from cells grown in bioreactors rather than harvested from farm animals – is taking leaps in technology that are making it a more viable option for the food industry. One such leap has now been made at the Tufts University Center for Cellular Agriculture (TUCCA), led by David Kaplan, Stern Family Professor of Engineering, in which researchers have created bovine (beef) muscle cells that produce their own growth factors, a step that can significantly cut costs of production…"

If it looks like a steak and smells like a steak and tastes like a steak and digests like a steak, I don't really care where it came from. |

Frederick Pohl and CM Kornbluth's The Space Merchants has a section which features "Chicken Little," a giant living mound of chicken flesh from which the hero has to slice off portions for sale as food. It's not presented as appetizing. There's an evil foreman who loves the monstrosity as if it were his pet. Interestingly, there was an experiment by Nobel Prize winning scientist Dr. Alexis Carrel, involving a chicken embryo's heart placed in a nutrient solution in 1912, which doubled in size every 48 hours, and was still growing in 1932. However, attempts to replicate the experiment failed, leaving questions as to whether an unknown process or food was introduced to the original. This is possibly the origin of the Chicken Little in Pohl and Kornbluth's story, and was explicitly referred to by Heinlein in one of his Lazarus Long novels. |
