Dutch Scientists Grow First Pork Meat In Lab
So... it turns out the Dutch have discovered a way to grow pork meat in a lab. I don't think that would fall under Pollan's definition of "food."
It looks like the project is funded by NASA and PETA. Interesting.

Amazing isn't it. I guess one should actually email Pollan about it. He might be amazed too. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's my guess that Pollan follows the sinister goings-on of the sinister food industry with a sinister and morbid fascination!
ReplyDeleteHa. I would like to try that and see if it actually tastes like pork. Very interseting....
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't sound appealing at all! You know how they say that the process in makign a hotdog is better unknown if you like to eat hotdogs? Well, this seems like a similar case, as I do not want to know how they do it because it sounds disgusting and like it cannot live up to actaul real meat itself.
