Lab-Grown Meat Lurches Ever Closer to Our Dutch Ovens

Tired of frying up a can of SPAM, and wondering just what it is you're about to put in your body? Well, get ready for a whole new ethical conundrum: Shmeat! Short for "sheet of lab-grown meat", the synthetic tissue revolution is lurching ever closer to our dinner plates. The process hasn't exactly been perfected--it's theorized that a Shmeat burger would currently cost upwards of a half million dollars. But scientists are on the verge! Just think, within the next few years, we could be carving up unclassified Shmeat lump for our loved ones on Thanksgiving. Hey, at least it's guaranteed 100% rat anus free. Try and claim that, hot dogs!

If you think about it, all meat comes from stem cells.
