Yeah, Science of the Day: First Taste Test of Cultured Meat
Yesterday, Professor Mark Post of the Netherlands’ Maastricht University held a public tasting of the world’s first burger made from lab-created In vitro meat. Funded by Google’s co-founder Sergey Brin and completed to perfection over the past two years, each fat-free, five-ounce burger pattie is made from nearly 20,000 strips of muscle fiber cultured from a cow’s shoulder muscular stem cells. Upon sample tasting, testers said that it tasted like “an animal-protein cake” but had the normal texture of any other burger.
