PETA offers $1 mln for technology to produce fake meat

It has been reported by the New York Times that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is willing to pay US$1 mln for fake meat.

The organisation said it would announce plans for a US$1 mln prize to the “first person to come up with a method to produce commercially viable quantities of in vitro meat at competitive prices by 2012.”

This idea is apparently not a new one, as scientists have worked for several years to develop technologies to grow tissue cultures that could be consumed like meat without the expense of land or feed and the disease potential of real meat.

Apparently New Harvest, a non-profit organization formed to promote the field, says: “Because meat substitutes are produced under controlled conditions impossible to maintain in traditional animal farms, they can be safer, more nutritious, less polluting and more humane than conventional meat.”
