WTH is "Schmeat?" Lab Grown Hamburger Patties! Yummy!



WTH?  This delicacy-of-the-future is grown from a cell culture rather than a live animal. Said cells are harvested from an animal, such as a pig, and placed in a nutrient-rich soup that mimics blood. Once the cells multiply, they are affixed to a spongy sheet (shmeat = sheet +meat) that has also been enriched with nutrients and then stretched to amplify cell size and protein content. Beats McDonald's..

Yummy, test tube meat..
