PETA Prize


PETA is offering a $1 million prize for the first scientist to come up with marketable vat-grown meat by 2012.

Hopefully this will come off better than their previous Soylent Green Cook-Off.

I've always found PETA to be a particularly mad strain of activists; but this is one thing I'd not disagree with.

Hell, why not? We eat all sorts of crap, even Marmite; why not vat-grown meat, as long as it's safe (as safe as current meat, anyway)?
And if this spurs budding meatologists on, then good on them.

Selsun Blue is made from people!! PEEEPUL!!!

Wait, it's what? Oh, yeah Soylent whatever.

I don't mind this either, as long as I can have a shrimp the size of a large house cat and a steak with wheels and tailfins that I can drive and eat.
