[Cagdu] FW: A most disturbing article.

Really, this one urban legend I've never seen. The person that sent it,
doesn't normally send spam to the list. Thanks for letting us know Ken. I'll
have to go to snopes.com and check this legend out.

Hi everybody.  This particular urban legend, or some variant there of, has
been around since at least 1966 when Lenny Bruce referenced it in "The
Berkeley Concert".  Some guys'll believe anything. I wouldn't worry about it
though.  We'll always have spam.  Ken

Subject: A most disturbing article.

I would become vegan first, and how would something like this change pet 
foods, making them still yet less natural for our working dogs? How much 
more expensive would "real meat" become if this truly took off? I doubt it 
ever will, but what if? Yuck!

The oink-less BLT
Who needs animals? It's only a matter of time before factory-grown meat 
becomes fast-food reality.
A small batch of stem cells can be used to grow large sheets of pork. 
Scientists can add vitamins, fatty acids and flavors to the meat, which 
could one day be processed into food products.
It sounds like a sci-fi nightmare: giant sheets of grayish meat grown on 
factory racks for human consumption. But it's for real. Using pig stem 
cells, scientists have been growing lab meat for years, and it could be 
hitting deli counters sooner than you think.
Early attempts produced less-than-enticing results. Then, in 2001, 
scientists at New York's Touro College won funding from Nasal to improve in 
vitro farming. Hoping to serve something, well, beefier than kelp on moon 
bases and Mars colonies, the scientists successfully grew goldfish muscle in

a nutrient broth. And, in 2003, a group of hungry artists from the 
University of Western Australia grew kidney bean-size steaks from biopsied 
frogs and prenatal sheep cells. Cooked in herbs and flambéed for eight brave

dinner guests, the slimy frog steaks came attached to small strips of 
fabric - the growth scaffolding. Half the tasters spat out their historic 
dinner. (Perhaps more significant, half didn't.)
Today, scientists funded by companies such as Stegeman, a Dutch sausage 
giant, are fine-tuning the process. It takes just two weeks to turn pig stem

cells, or myoblasts, into muscle fibers. "It's a scalable process," says 
Jason Matheny of New Harvest, a meat substitute research group. "It would 
take the same amount of time to make a kilogram or a ton of meat."
One technical challenge: muscle tissue that has never been flexed is a gooey

mass, unlike the grained texture of meat from an animal that once lived. The

solution is to stretch the tissue mechanically, growing cells on a scaffold 
that expands and contracts. This would allow factories to tone the flaccid 
flesh with a controlled workout.
Lab-grown meat isn't an easy sell, but there could be benefits. Designer 
meat would theoretically be free of hormones, antibiotics, and the threat of

mad cow disease or bird flu. Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins could be 
blasted into the mixture (see illustration above) or dispersed through 
veins. Revolting? You bet, but have you ever visited a sausage factory? 
Currently costing around R750 000 per kilogram, a choice cut of lab meat 
makes Kobe beef seem like a bargain. But meat-processing companies hope to 
start selling affordable factory-grown pork in under a decade. Bon appétit.
