Frankenburger, anyone? PETA seeking lab-grown pod meat
In a move that's eccentric even by PETA standards, the animal rights organization is offering a $1 million prize to the first person to come up with "commercially viable" laboratory-grown meat. The idea is to avoid harming animals by allowing hard-core carnivores to get their fill of the good stuff with lumps of flesh conceived and raised in petrie dishes.
If you're already manufacturing meat in the basement and want to apply for the prize, keep in mind that " the quantity of meat produced must be sufficient to market in at least 10 U.S. states at a price that is competitive with then-prevailing chicken prices."
Chicken factories are only the beginning of course, and the plan must ultimately lead to the creation of an army of PETA flesh zombies bred specially to be put on naked display at animal rights promotions around the world.
