Most people I know already think meat just comes in styrofoam packets, not wanting to think about where it comes from - so why the fuss with vat grown meat?

Yogurt (bacterial fermented milk), twinkies, spam, hot dogs, oreos, colas etc... Tofu meat, fake lobster meat, margerine etc... invitro hot dogs, sausages, patties and then other later steak (when they can grow veins and arteries and other meat structures. In vitro meat is and will be closer to "natural" and healthier than many things we eat now. Once the marketers, taste tests, commercials, packaging and food scientist get going there will be a large market for it. http://nextbigfuture.com/2008/04/meat-factories-food-substitution-and.html People do not think enough about what they already eat.

I would eat it in a heartbeat, but I think it's going to be a hard sell to anyone outside of sci-fi geeks, vegetarian or not. My wife, who hasn't eaten meat in almost 20 years, seemed pretty disgusted when I asked her about this. As a geek vegetarian, I’ve considered vat-grown meat for a long time before this news came out.
