Pork from a Petrie Dish

This isn't really very surprising, but the London Times is reporting that scientists have grown meat in a lab.

My favorite quote is:

So far the scientists have not tasted it, but they believe the breakthrough could lead to sausages and other processed products being made from laboratory meat in as little as five years’ time.

Good enough for processed meat mass consumption real soon, but we've yet gotten around to trying it.

Really, this is so unnecessary.
