Coming in less than a year, it will cost 220,000 pounds to produce and will probably have the slippery texture of squid or scallops. Sausages and other processed meat products could swiftly follow, although pork chops and sirloin steaks will be much more problematic.Produced in huge vats from muscle cells, the “meat without slaughter” would be kinder to the environment than the real thing, reduce animal suffering and help feed the world’s burgeoning population.Despite its huge initial cost, industrial-scale production could see the price plummet to equal, or less than that of real meat.Read Full: oon, world’s first test tube burger! - Hindustan Times
