The most expensive burger in the world cost $383,875 to make: Lab Grown Hamburger

First off, hands down the best thread title I have seen. I know, not very funny or anything, but it cracked me up! I couldn't pass up checking what this crazy'ness is all about!

Secondly, great find! S&F

Lastly, what's up with the so called 'anonymous businessman' who funded the research??

This week, it will be served for the first time in London, likely to the anonymous businessman who funded the research.

DUN-DUN-DUUUUN!!

Taste test: Lab-grown hamburger short on flavor

I think we are missing what is the key point of meat eating: it is stored energy.

Throughout the growing season you fatten up food animals, knowing that when nothing else grows, those same animals will begin to be hungry themselves.

Thus you cull the herd for the benefit of everyone.

That is the lifestyle that brought meat into our diets: the ability to store energy for future consumption.

What the hell I would try it. It doesn't sound very good but neither did a lot of things I have tried from my travels.


So this is what space burgers are going to sprout from. SLURM soda please.
