Made with stems cells in a laboratory


This burger helps you lose weight — from your wallet.
A London eatery will next week cook up what is being called "the most expensive burger in history," a five-ounce sandwich with beef grown in a laboratory from cow stem cells, and costing about $383,000, The Independent reported Sunday.
Scientists will cobble together the precious patty using 3,000 pieces of artificial beef, each the size of a grain of rice, that was grown in a lab from stem cells taken from a slaughtered cow, the paper reported.
The scientist behind the project believes that while expensive now, the process could in the future be used to cut down on the huge amount of resources that go into each pound of beef and help feed the world's growing demand.
