Scientists turn stem cells into pork

"LONDON – Call it pork in a petri dish — a technique to turn pig stem cells into strips of meat that scientists say could one day offer a green alternative to raising livestock, help alleviate world hunger, and save some pigs their bacon. Dutch scientists have been growing pork in the laboratory since 2006, and while they admit they haven't gotten the texture quite right or even tasted the engineered meat, they say the technology promises to have widespread implications for our food supply." click on the link for more of the article... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100115/ap_on_he_me/eu_med_petri_pork
