Researchers Successfully Grow Meat In Lab
<snip>

BALTIMORE -- Remember mystery meat from the school cafeteria? Well, get ready for lab meat.

Researchers say they can grow meat cells in a test tube without a cow or chicken in sight.

University of Maryland doctoral student Jason Matheny is studying the lab meat techniques. Matheny predicts the first practical application will be for processed meat-like products similar to sausage or chicken nuggets.

But don't look for a lab grown T-bone anytime soon. Matheny says researchers have a long way to go before they'll be able to grow a steak or chicken breast.

1. Quite frankly that sounds revolting
It reminds me of an old Seinfeld joke that went something like this.

Why is it called Head Cheese?

Because even Oscar Meyer knows nobody would eat it if you called it Head Meat.
