<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 </FONT></DIV>

<P>I would become vegan first, and how would something like this change pet
<BR>foods, making them still yet less natural for our working dogs? How much
<BR>more expensive would "real meat" become if this truly took off? I doubt it
<BR>ever will, but what if? Yuck!<BR>From <BR><A
href="http://www.popularmechanics.co.za/content/science/singlepage.asp?fid=769&pno=1">http://www.popularm<WBR>echanics.<WBR>co.za/content/<WBR>science/singlepa<WBR>ge.asp?fid=<WBR>769&pno=1</A><BR>The
oink-less BLT<BR>Who needs animals? It's only a matter of time before
factory-grown meat <BR>becomes fast-food reality.<BR>A small batch of stem
cells can be used to grow large sheets of pork. <BR>Scientists can add
vitamins, fatty acids and flavors to the meat, which <BR>could one day be
processed into food products.<BR>It sounds like a sci-fi nightmare: giant
sheets of grayish meat grown on <BR>factory racks for human consumption. But
it's for real. Using pig stem <BR>cells, scientists have been growing lab meat
for years, and it could be <BR>hitting deli counters sooner than you
think.<BR>Early attempts produced less-than-enticing results. Then, in 2001,
<BR>scientists at New York's Touro College won funding from Nasal to improve
in <BR>vitro farming. Hoping to serve something, well, beefier than kelp on
moon <BR>bases and Mars colonies, the scientists successfully grew goldfish
muscle in <BR>a nutrient broth. And, in 2003, a group of hungry artists from
the <BR>University of Western Australia grew kidney bean-size steaks from
biopsied <BR>frogs and prenatal sheep cells. Cooked in herbs and flambéed for
eight brave <BR>dinner guests, the slimy frog steaks came attached to small
strips of <BR>fabric - the growth scaffolding. Half the tasters spat out their
historic <BR>dinner. (Perhaps more significant, half didn't.)<BR>Today,
scientists funded by companies such as Stegeman, a Dutch sausage <BR>giant,
are fine-tuning the process. It takes just two weeks to turn pig stem
<BR>cells, or myoblasts, into muscle fibers. "It's a scalable process," says
<BR>Jason Matheny of New Harvest, a meat substitute research group. "It would
<BR>take the same amount of time to make a kilogram or a ton of meat."<BR>One
technical challenge: muscle tissue that has never been flexed is a gooey
<BR>mass, unlike the grained texture of meat from an animal that once lived.
The <BR>solution is to stretch the tissue mechanically, growing cells on a
scaffold <BR>that expands and contracts. This would allow factories to tone
the flaccid <BR>flesh with a controlled workout.<BR>Lab-grown meat isn't an
easy sell, but there could be benefits. Designer <BR>meat would theoretically
be free of hormones, antibiotics, and the threat of <BR>mad cow disease or
bird flu. Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins could be <BR>blasted into the
mixture (see illustration above) or dispersed through <BR>veins. Revolting?
You bet, but have you ever visited a sausage factory? <BR>Currently costing
around R750 000 per kilogram, a choice cut of lab meat <BR>makes Kobe beef
seem like a bargain. But meat-processing companies hope to <BR>start selling
affordable factory-grown pork in under a decade. Bon appétit.<BR>Carolyn &
