Minister "Horrified" by Artificial Meat USDA FAS

Italian Agriculture Minister Zaia expressed his horror at recent experiments by Dutch scientists to grow meat in laboratories. Researchers from Eindhoven meat could resolve ethical issues surrounding the treatment of animals and even cut down on the greenhouse gases produced by raising them. Zaia however is not convinced. ''This supposedly 'hi-tech meat' boils down to an aberrant mixture of chemicals totally alien to an animal's natural life cycle,'' he said. University announced they have grown something resembling a pork chop from cells immersed in a soup of fetal matter. Proponents say an artificial alternative to real „„I‟ve got nothing against science, but farmers are right to be alarmed by these useless and potentially dangerous experiments.'' One possible application would be interplanetary space flights.
