PETA Offers X-Prize for Artificial Meat
Bored MPA writes "The Times reports that PETA is to announce plans on Monday for a $1 million prize to the "first person to come up with a method to produce commercially viable quantities of in vitro meat at competitive prices by 2012." PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk addressed the controversial decision by saying, "We don't mind taking uncomfortable positions if it means that fewer animals suffer." An unexpected and pragmatic move from an organization that has a strong base of support from pro-organic vegans." The question I always had about this- if they can take one sample from one animal and clone it in a vat and feed this world, will the vegans be ok with that?
I thought it was called SPAM
I'm an animal lover. And the better they taste the more I love 'em! Yum!

PS: I saw "The Queers" live in Cincinnatti a couple years ago with hmy daughter Patty, got a Queers t-shirrt there. My favorite Queers song is Stupid Fucking Vegans. Fuck PETA and the horse they rode in on. Then eat the damned horse!
mcgrew's razor: Never attribute to stupidity that which can be explained by greedy self-interest
Well then it's a good thing nobody pays any attention to the outdated Jewish dietary laws anymore, including most Jews!
Try bacon. It's delicious.
I have met more then one person who is allergic to animal protein. They could eat eggs but if it was cooked in bacon grease it would cause instant hives.
(One did say that the only form of meat that she did miss was bacon...)
I fail to see this as PETA doing something constructive. They have managed to divorce themselves from the natural order of things so far that they don't realize that there is such a thing as a food chain.
I think we need a good old fashioned coliseum. We can send PETA to the lions! (Christians are so 'last millennium'!) Maybe they will recall the way nature works as the lions snack away on entrails...
