Really? Really?

It is imaginable. I just proved it by imagining it.

Meat is just cells, muscle and fat. We can grow that stuff all the time now. I'm not saying that we can up and grow a good rib-eye in a dish, but we can make material that's good enough for food processing (certainly good enough for hot dogs).

I'm interested in your comment that there's a "growing consensus" that grass-fed cattle is more nutritious. Compared to what? Spam? That's not what we're talking about here. I agree that the traditional food industry hasn't made a great imitation product...yet...but that's not to say that biotechnology can't step up to the plate.

If we can grow a human liver or heart, we can certainly grow a drumstick, right?
