http://www.therenegadehealthshow.com - Apparently PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has a new PR campaign...

The plan is to dish out 1 million dollars to the scientist that can basically grow meat in a test tube.

This type of in vitro meat production could cause a pretty big rise and open up some serious debate in the health and agricultural worlds, so after watching this show, I'd love to start the discussion here on the blog.

Annmarie and I also went to see Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma" and "In Defense of Food" at Yale last night! I've included some highlights of the event...

  • I'd eat in vitro meat.

  • it is a good idea because free the animals from suffering. I feel is possible with compounds, someone will these days so we can no longer witness animal cruelty. NO TO ANIMAL CRUELTY!

    go search "Meet your Meat" , if a compound is discovered than can allow us to have meat like product, whatever is on that video (meet your meat) will be GONE. Animal cruelty will just be party of history like SLAVERY.

  • wont this development lead to the extinction of the cow? its not like we can look forward to an era where herds of wild cows will be seen galloping through the countyside

  • BRING ON VITRO MEAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @AlexFolland I feel you AlexFolland. Anyway, I'm looking forward seeing no animal suffering while having all the meat we want (not need ; of course, we know that there's a big difference between killing to survive and killing for a delicious treat. I still can post comments here without eating meat.)

  • @TheCenturion1 That's clearly not true, considering one can have meat without harming animals. That was the point of my comment and the point of developing in vitro meat. It's not hard to understand.

  • @AlexFolland "I love meat. I also love animals"

    Sure, we can't love both. If you are to love one, you're forced to hate the other. I love animals so I despise eating meat.

  • How can you tell if you're served an in-vitro or a meat from a once-breathing creature? Any difference with regards to taste, texture or appearance?

  • what a bogus study. the gender of a child is entirely dependent on the father's sperm that makes its way to the ovum, and certainly not on a mother's diet.

  • I love meat. I also love animals. In vitro meat fixes my ethical concerns with eating meat.

    "plays with nature in an unusual way"? What are you talking about? I think any logical person would agree that any negative ethical concern about in vitro meat is nonsensical.

  • Uh, I'm sure their efforts in producing "in vitro meat" will involve much animal research. Peta always manages to hurt animals. Why is this. Anyway, we don't need meat. There are already vegan meat alternatives. I don't get it. That much money could go to so many better things.

  • @nukleopatra88 it doesnt concern embryos and fetuses....its very simple actually, get a muscle fibre(meat) from a particular animal then infuse it with proteins for it to grow and bwala, your very own steak
