Do you remember the old Wendy's commercial where the little old lady inquired "where's the beef?" The answer could soon be "in the lab." A few British scientists have successfully produced beef grown from stem cells in a lab in an effort to prove that meat can be produced without slaughtering animals. The beef patties were cooked and eaten by two volunteers at a London media event. Brendan Spaar wonders if this will convince some vegans to eat meat once again. The burgers were not cheap, coming in at around $375,000. Once scientists get the cost down, we may have another problem on our hands. What to do with all of those cows that we aren't slaughtering?
