World’s first stem-cell burger garners mixed reviews

The world’s first test-tube burger, made from lab-grown meat, was served in London yesterday.

The 140g patty was created by scientist-turned-chef Mark Post from 20,000 tiny strips of meat grown from cow stem cells at a cost of £250,000 (€290,000).

After trying his creation, he said: “I think it’s a very good start. It proved that we can do this, that we can make it and to provide a start to build upon.”
