PETA
Quoted from Reader’s Digest October 2008 issue:
“Animal Rights Group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has set an almighty challenge: they’ll award $1 million to anyone who can bring lab-made meat to the market by 2012…”
That was just by far the most insane idea I have ever heard, and it’s coming from a well renowned organization. No, I don’t have anything against PETA but I think they’re starting to get a little bit, how should I say this, overboard? Exaggerated, perhaps. But yeah, it’s beyond normal.
In my point of view, how can you serve to protect other species if it meant risking the species of your own kind? It’s useless. And, who would eat “lab-made meat”? I don’t care if it tastes the same. I don’t think you’ll be able to get the same nutritional values you could get from the real thing.
But honestly, with the rate the world population is going right now, the future generation might just end up eating lab-made meat, and probably even veggies.
