Will vegetarians start eating meat if this works out?<\/p>\n

Lab-grown meat is a not a new concept. We\u2019ve had the meatball, the world\u2019s most expensive beefburger<\/a>, and possibly shrimp<\/a>. Now it\u2019s the turn of chicken and duck.<\/p>\n

San Francisco-based startup, Memphis Meats, has produced the very first \u201cclean meat\u201d poultry grown from cells in a lab, serving them up in a taste test that included classic southern fried chicken and decidedly fancy duck a l\u2019orange.<\/p>\n

Memphis Meats<\/a> is one of a handful of biotech companies hoping to create commercially available in vitro meat that has all the flavor, texture, and nutrition of meat, without the killing of animals. Using the same technique as their previous beef meatball<\/a>, the scientists cultured regenerative stem cells taken from the birds and placed them in bioreactor tanks. Once culturing in a sugar and mineral solution, it only takes a few weeks before they are ready to harvest.<\/p>\n
