Lab-Grown Meat Chunks - It's What's For Dinner

jonerik writes "CNN has this story on a NASA-funded project being conducted at Touro College in New York. In the experiment, segments of muscle are cut from large goldfish and placed in a vat of 'nutrient-rich liquid,' with the fish chunks growing by 16% within a week. It is hoped that future developments will permit astronauts on long-term missions to include fresh meat in their diet without having to bring along actual animals and fish into space. New Scientist is also reporting the story."

Call me crazy, but instead of growing meat, why don't they just consume the nutrient rich liquid instead? seems to make more sense, but that is coming from a vegan, so meat (and dairy, honey, animal products/byproducts in general) are icky to me.....

Dear NASA, Please Cease-and-Desist...

Dear NASA,

I am writing to you on behalf of my client, the Fishing Industry Association of America. (FIAA) My client is higly concerned that your new method for growing fish chunks in the laboratory infringes on their buisness method patent for "a process for making human-consumable foodstuffs from biological material of aquatic origin."

We fear that your new technique is also a circumvention device under the DMCA. We can not allow you to continue to develop this "biological crowbar" which infringes on our intellectual property rights. Please cease and desist from this reseach, and turn over all material related to this research to my client, or we will be forced to take more serious action.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

John Dewey, Senior Partner and lead council for the FIAA.
Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe, Attorneys at law.

Soylent Yum!
