some meat? At first I was apalled, but after reading the article I'm not so disgusted and would probably buy some if it was in the grocery store. I definately think that it should be labled differently from "real" meat though.

This is a concept that Warren Ellis has put some real thought into.
I mean, if we don't kill to get the meat, that means we can eat ANYTHING that we can get stem cells for.
Panda burgers are back on the menu!
Deep-fired tiger eyes are set to replace popcorn chicken!
Have a big plate of dolphin surprise without some smelly green-peacenik ramming you with his zodiac.
Hell, there's probably enough genetic material still kicking around for us to find out what tasted so good about that bloody dodo.
And hey, why not some long pig? If it's just vat grown flesh, what's wrong with chowing down on baby steaks?

the thought of meat grown in a lab is just disturbing. Im sure its fine, but still... (shudders)
Though I would be all for this if they made a "Grow your own Meat!" at home kit so I could grow some ribeyes in my spare time.

I enjoy East Side Mario's firecracker shrimp bowties. And I think deep down, that's because more animals will suffer if I get that than the chicken carbonera.

I'm not sure I can enjoy a meal if it doesn't have at least a vague connectioin with animal suffering.

I dont know.
This reminds me too much of the kind of stuff warned about in the cracked.com article about Zombies.
it always starts with a good idea then BAM!!!
zombie apoclypse.
A local grocery store started pushing Irradiated meat a few years back.
the mouth breathing customers couldn't understand the concept.

Interesting. Series cloned chicken breasts. I'd probably try it and go back to the real deal. I suppose that one might grow incredibly lean beef and pork that way, though. Any actual vegetarians have an opinion on this subject?
You can go to the store and buy a whole pineapple. If you cut the top off with the leaves intact, hang the top with the leaves on a string to let it dry for a couple days, then plant it in good soil with the leaves up, it will grow roots. If you make sure it's got sun and water and warmth, in a few months you'll have another pineapple on top of the leaves. Rinse, eat, repeat. These are series cloned pineapples. I have two such pineapple plants growing on the lanai even now. Delicious, but oddly they don't taste like chicken.

I doubt you'll be buying it any time soon unless you're willing to pay a premium for it. There's no question it's possible. The trick is making it economically feasible, which probably won't happen until the cost of raising animals increases significantly.
Then again, with food shortages looming that day may come pretty soon:
