In another scientific breakthrough, another group of researchers have announced their ability to grow a baked potato in a test tube along with choices of toppings, including sour cream and a gentle sprinkling of chives. When asked if a second side dish is not far behind, the lead scientist replied, "Are you insane! We're not in the business of playing God!"

Maybe they can grow a brain between Joe Bidens ears while they are at it.

sounds like fish bait to me.
test tube ribeyes? somehow that don't sound good.

Although Star Treks Captain Kirk ate well with the food replicator. This could be the precursor of a food replicator for space missions!

And there are concerns of genetic engineering and alterations that may be bad for consumers.......

Put a vibrating device in some test tube pork roll and you've got something....

But we're still a long way away from being able to clone a kielbasa.

Who'd want to?

I hear its going to be a little tough, so you'll have to beat your meat before serving. Wait... That's not right...

I remember back in the 1980's when this idea was first floated to where someone said that "We can grow meat in the lab and slice a hunk off of the ever-growing thing when we need some." I remember I replied, "you're grossing me out, man." B-P B-)

We already have test tube meat. It's called 'potted meat food product'.

"Researchers Aim To Grow Meat In Test Tube",

I think our local IHOP already does this. They have the worst tasting meet I've ever put in my mouth.
