Vitro Burger Anyone?

What's a Vitro Burger?


Actually there isn't one yet, but we're getting real close. The meat for the burger would be grown rather butchered from living animals.


According to Cara Santa Maria's "Talk Nerdy To Me" video posted on Huffington Post..."40 billion animals are killed per year in the US alone.

One million chickens are killed per hour.

Over one-fourth of the total land surface of the earth is used for livestock grazing (or non-grazing, like in factory farms).

Global meat production accounts for 18 percent of greenhouse gasses. That's more than every car, bus, train, and airplane produces combined!"If this can be proven safe I can see no downside to it. I can't explain strongly enough how hopeful I am that this technology succeeds. Not for those reasons alone, but also..From a purely self interest point of view-- Vitro meat would have no need for antibiotic nor hormone additives that leech into human digestive systems. Ever wonder why we're getting more drug resistant and fatter like cows?

The flavor, fat and nutritional values could all be completely controlled.

From a larger point of view-- This would relieve the suffering of some 40 billion animals. Animals whose lives are cut short and treated as if they felt no more pain then a cucumber.
