Dutch Scientists Grow Meat !!!




 Meat is no more the usual ... amazed ? Dutch scientists have succeeded in growing meat rather than from killing animals for meat. Scientists do this by using the cells from muscles of living animal and then immersing it in nutrient-rich and cultured petri-dish.

The Scientists are now trying to grow pork. For this cells were taken from a pig's muscle and immersed in a nutrient-rich Serum derived from the blood of pig fetuses.

The muscle tissue being developed from this method is completely blood-less and stringy. No one knows how this could taste. Since taste of each meat differ by the blood and content of fat and iron which are not present in meat grown in this method.

But the scientists arre still hopefull to make an edible version of the meat by about 10 years. This could be a breakthrough if successfull and could reduce the risk posed on animals and environment.

Where could this lead us... Next time you may be cooking meat grown in a petri dish in some science laboratory... Eewww gross..
