Have they engineered a tree that grows meat?!


Question: I heard that they had.


Answers: I heard that they had.

A tree can't grow animals. Don't know where you heard this nonsense.

i doubt that.
it seems impossible.
meat comes from a living, breathing animal.

although a tree is living, there is no possible way a tree could grow raw beef.

raw meat or beef comes from an animal, from cells that form tissues. a tree could not manipulate that.

i'd hate to find out what that tree would smell like!!! eeewwwwww

I don't know about meat, but I would like that tree that grows "bucks"!

No it wasn't a tree that grew meat, but they did engineer lab grown meat in a petri dish, they even put breading on it and fried it. I believe it was goldfish meat to be exact.

I heard something a couple years ago about chicken growing on a stick. It was synthetic meat with some real meat proteins or something like that and you could slice pieces off. Sounds gross to me.

Hope not, i love playing with my chanisaws and would hate the moral dilemma of a decent oak tree with a few steaks hanging from it.

Not true as far as I know.

Not a tree, no. But I have heard scientists are growing "sheets" of meat in laboratories. You won't be able to get a steak from them, but you might be able to get slices of "meat" or ground "meat."

Sounds pretty damn scary to me.
