The world’s first test-tube burger will be served in London next week. It is made from meat grown in a laboratory, rather than cattle raised in pastures.

And its developers hope it will show how the soaring global demand for protein can be met without the need for vast herds of cattle.

The 5oz ‘Frankenburger’, which cost £250,000 to produce, is made from 3,000 tiny strips of meat grown from the stem cells of a cow.

The raw meat is said to be grey with a slippery texture similar to squid or scallop.

Can't imagine its worse than whatever qualifies as beef in the average fast food burger.

I don't way those either. That said, much like other lab designed things (pharmaceuticals, GMO's, etc), we are rarely able to fully capture the complexity of those things that nature produces. It may look and smell the same, but it almost never has the same complex nutritional, health, healing, etc value.

Sounds like some Mondo Burger bullshit.

This may not be the food of the future, but I can see it from here.
