meat from a vat?

Brave New Hamburger. The Village Voice's Geeta Dayal on cultured-meat production: "The basic idea is this: All meat is essentially muscle tissue marbled with fat. If you grew enough of these cells, you could theoretically make actual meat—without resorting to soy or slaughterhouses. Ideally, you could make thousands, if not millions, of nuggets from a single chicken using this method."
