Scientists can grow tissue in their laboratories, so why not make tons of meat in a big vat? 

It would spare the lives of animals, and cut down on the environmental problems — like carbon emission — that are associated with farming. 

As I explained in April, PETA has issued a $1 million dollar challenge to the first business that brings artificial meat to the market. 

A new public television show, Your Week , asked a bunch of people if they would eat the stuff. 

Unfortunately, their headline, Would You Eat Frankenmeat?  has a pretty negative connotation.  Hopefully, subtle jabs like that will not bias the public against these new products, which already seem a bit hard to swallow.
