What Is Shmeat?

Shmeat is a colloquial nickname for lab grown meat, but what is it exactly? What does the process look like and what prospects does it hold for the future of animal welfare, the environment, and human nutrition? The following videos from Science in Seconds and the TaoistFlyer offer quick summaries.

Known as an RC aficionado, the “TaoistFlyer” here turns his video production skills to answering the question How does it work?

Around the web and back in time:

PETA: $1 Million for Lab Grown Meat

Image via Wikipedia

It’s been four years since PETA offered $1 million to the first company to create a commercially-viable laboratory-grown meat that didn’t involve the death of a single animal.

Until recently, this seemed a far off goal. Now, it’s predicted to be right around the corner, even by year’s end.

Unfortunately for the scientists involved, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals had set the deadline on claiming the reward as June 30, 2012.

Gabor Forgacs Eats In Vitro Meat on Stage

Gabor Forgacs from Organovo lectures at TEDMED 2011 regarding tissue engineering and “printing” organs for use in clinical trials.

According to a MedGadget report on the conference, Gabor later returned to the stage to cook up a sample “printed pork” and proceeded to eat it. As to the name of such foods, he so far prefers lab meat or in vitro meat.
