So how does the first hamburger taste that was grown in a
petri dish in a lab made from stem cells from a cow? “The same as a hamburger
except not as fat,” says one of the taste testers who got a bite of the first
hamburger made in a petri dish in a lab.
At 250,000 Euros to make, which is more than $330,000
dollars, one wonders why on earth would anyone want to grow a hamburger
artificially in a lab rather than just butchering a cow.
Below are two videos that might be of interest. And we’ll
certainly keep an eye on those news.
The man who has paid for the production of the world's first lab-grown hamburger has been revealed as Google co-founder Sergey Brin. The internet entrepreneur has backed the project to the tune of €250,000 (£215,000), or about $331,000, allowing scientists to grow enough meat in the lab to create a burger -- as a proof of concept -- that was cooked and eaten in London on Monday, August 5, 2013.
