Bovine everywhere are just a little bit happier lately, with news of progress being made in cultured beef. It seems I've been hearing about "in vitro meat" for a few years now with ever increasing frequency. The latest news comes from Maastricht University in the Netherlands where Professor Mark Post and his team have made surprisingly appetizing progress. Now to be honest his product is still pretty odd, but it's much better looking than the gelatinous meat blobs I've seen in the past.
