The current issue of Scientific American has a very interesting article about lab grown meat.

When the new Pandora's Box is opened, be the first in line to partake of a burger made from that ****. Then tell me then how great it is.

Not a good idea IMHO.

I can't imagine it being too good. Just weird. Maybe for pet food, but then what would we do with offal?

Throw a couple slabs of bacon on it and I'm in!

My t-bones are to die for. Rib chops that could start wars. Honest.

I know exactly what you are talking about !!
We grow our own here as well.
You cant get better than a good T-bone!!!
This lab rat stuff is just not going to cut it in the real world.
If they want to produce "McC##P" thats ok, just not for me !!

That Pandora's Box has been opened, it's just an extension of it in our food supply with GMO vegetables, hormones and pesticides.

R Leo, your beef is grass fed? Got any sales info on it and do you ship across country?

Nice thing is that if this works out, we can get the cuts we want or are more popular or even tailor the cuts the way we want.

Dream on. I can just imagine the per lb price on a stem cell generated USDA Prime ribeye. They'd have to be transported in a refrigerated Brinks truck.

Yes, grassfed, all natural, no stem cells, no added hormones (just ones the Maker put there).

PM your e-mail to me for pricing/shipping info.

They also told us funny things will happen if we exceed the sound barrier. Flight wasn't possible, etc, etc. We'd still be living in caves if we listened to those people.

I've had grassfed before. It wasn't that impressive. Natural and hormone free might be a great selling point to many though. I'm not in that number. I've had rBGH free milk too. Costs more and didn't taste any better.

Since we are being so candid, I wouldn't expect you to unless it agreed with you. And I might add, neither was the salesman when I wasn't buying what he was selling so I am used to it.

Amen, bro!

Around here, we're rekindling the interest in t-bones. In the grocery meat case they're getting harder to find because fabricators are instead opting to get the higher value tenderloin out of the carcass, making it into filets and turning the sirloin side into an over-priced strip steak.

I am going to order a steak from my man Leo, I will let you guys know how it tastes.

Do a blind test and see if you can tell the difference and see what the price differential is. I'd like another helping of Kobe beef but at the prices, I'm not sure I can afford to get hooked on it.
