History was made today as a pair of food critics were given the very first hamburger ever made from meat that did not come from a living organism. Instead, stem cells harvested from cows were used to grow muscle tissue until there was enough of it to form a hamburger, then a chef cooked it up, they put it on a bun and someone ate it lab grown meat. The official word was that it feels like meat and the taste is almost there, but it needed some spicing. It also wasn't as juicy as a typical burger which makes sense when you consider the cells only grew muscle tissue making this literally the most lean burger ever made, it was 100% muscle and no fat at all. In the end though, it was definitely a burger and that means, despite this currently being cost prohibitive (the burger was over $200,000 to produce), one day we could certainly solve issues of hunger and livestock by just producing the meat in factories instead of growing an slaughtering animals. And if you think the idea is gross, you just need to compare it to how gross the inside of a slaughterhouse looks.
