If you're a mad food scientist, you may want to think about creating In Vitro meat. PETA is offering a $1 million reward to the first person who figures it out.

In vitro meat production would use animal stem cells that would be placed in a medium to grow and reproduce. The result would mimic flesh and could be cooked and eaten. Some promising steps have been made toward this technology, but we're still several years away from having in vitro meat be available to the general public.

Being a vegan I find this whole concept to be slightly confusing. I love the fact that this could potentially help save the animals and our environment, but on the other hand I don't see myself ever eating the In Vitro meat. To be quite honest it's really the whole fleshy texture and taste that disgusts me. I'll be sticking with tofu!
