The worlds first lab grown meat was cooked and tasted last Monday, August 5 2013. The meat originated from stem cells taken and cultured from cattle. This is may be the answer to global food shortage issues and ultimately combat climate change due to the fact that it does not take up a lot of energy and water to make.
There were a couple of people who have tasted the product and commented that it did have the texture close to a hamburger but not that close to its taste. Although scientists say the flavors can be tweaked, there are still unanswered questions and concerns. There are still more tests it has to undergo. It still takes longer to make. But I'll have to admit this is a better alternative because it does not waste that much energy, meaning the process is a renewable alternative without sacrificing that much resources.
