Are stem cell burgers such a bad idea?

What’s in that burger?[/caption]Are stem cell burgers such a bad idea when we already have GM food, animals factory farmed in appalling conditions, and consumers who don’t really care where their food comes from as long as it is cheap and convenient?

Surely governments will make sure the food is safe and the marketeers will make the burgers look delicious.

And what about feeding the world? If current trends continue by 2050 there will be enough grain fed to animals to produce meat, that could instead feed half the world’s population?

Small profitable farm?

Small profitable farm?


I suppose it boils down to choice. I will certainly avoid stem cell burgers, factory farmed meat and milk and opt instead for local suppliers where I can find out how my food has been produced.

Extraordinarily enough not only will I find, and enjoy better food, I will also save money by buying direct and cutting out retailer, marketeer and middlemen margins. Your thoughts are welcome below.
