Scientists can grow tissue in their laboratories, so why not make tons of meat in a big vat?

It would spare the lives of animals, and cut down on the environmental problems — like carbon emission — that are associated with farming.

As I explained in April, PETA has issued a $1 million dollar challenge to the first business that brings artificial meat to the market.

A new public television show, Your Week , asked a bunch of people if they would eat the stuff.

Unfortunately, their headline, Would You Eat Frankenmeat? has a pretty negative connotation. Hopefully, subtle jabs like that will not bias the public against these new products, which already seem a bit hard to swallow.
