What about test-tube meat?A scientist in South Carolina says that it's possible to produce the equivalent of ground chuck in a lab -- that is,Ghd Hair Styler, sans the cow. Dr. Vladimir Mironov at the Medical University of South Carolina has taken embryonic cells from animals and grown what he calls cultured or "in-vitro" meat.

The government seems a little queasy about funding further research into the ultimate mystery meat."Bringing any new technology on the market, average, costs $1 billion," Mironov tells Reuters.
