Organs can now be grown!

[Rinnhart]

Hey, hey, hey, can't we all just chill out, get a frosty, and enjoy a 99¢ vat-grown chicken nugget meal?

That brings me back to the Asimov's Caves of Steel "Yeast for dinner again mom?" text. Also, there were rumours that KFC officially changed their name to specifically avoid having the word "Chicken" in their name because they engineered meat on a mass-production level that wasn't necessarily chicken. Unfortunately for that conspiracy, Chicken farms are far cheaper, and such technology didn't seem possible... until now.

So where's my instant hamburger in a beaker? Much better than fish at fora.

The "KFC isn't chicken" is a rumor that's been around for years and I wouldn't doubt is some form of viral advertising. It resurfaced with renewed vigor after their most recent attempt at rebranding with the slogan "Kitchen Fresh Chicken" (which is incredibly lame, I can't believe they actually spent money on those ads).

I'm definately looking forward to lab-grown food if they can get it to taste right. Of course, my concern becomes the lack of healthy filth to digest if they do it too perfectly.
