Lab-Grown Meat
A company called Future Meat Technologies, which just got a large investment from meat giant Tyson Food, is perfecting a process that could see us soon grilling meat grown in a bioreactor.
In 2013, producing the first lab-grown burger cost $325,000. By 2015, though the cost had dropped to around $11, Mark Post, the Dutch researcher who created the burger, thought that it might take another two or three decades before it was commercially viable. But the first so-called "clean meat," produced from animal cells without an actual animal, may be in restaurants by the end of 2018...
...Farmers, he suggests, could begin to shift from animal agriculture to cellular agriculture. "These distributive models allow us to grow organically and essentially replace chicken coops with these bioreactors," he says. "This, I think, is a reasonable way of actually taking over and replacing this industry sustainably."
The company plans to supply farmers with a small collection of cells or a piece of tissue roughly the size of an coffee capsule, along with the nutrients to feed the cells and the equipment for growing them (the platform can use cells from any animal). Ten to 18 days later, after the tissue has grown, it will be sent to processing plants where it can be turned into "clean meat" for consumers. Turning protein into something with the shape, texture, and mouthfeel of meat has become relatively easy, he says, as companies like Beyond Meat and others have shown with soy and other plant-based proteins...

Sounds awful, but all those people out there who attribute human qualities onto animals will go after it.
