BANZAI7 NEWS-- Dutch scientists have been growing pork in the laboratory since 2006, and while they admit they haven't gotten the texture quite right or even tasted the engineered meat, they say the technology promises to have widespread implications for McDonalds.

"If we took the stem cells from one pig and multiplied it by a factor of a million, we would need one million fewer pigs to get the same amount of meat," said Flint Lockwood, a food animation scientist at Maastricht University involved in the In-vitro Meat Consortium. "The next step is the conversion of water into food."
