"Porc a la petrie dish"

Last week, Dutch scientists announced that they had successfully GROWN PORK MEAT in a laboratory, but admitted that it needs to be exercised, to get the sogginess out!

Animal rights groups, vegetarian associations, and PETA - 'the model for angry activists' - all agreed that THIS is a good thing, making consumption of meat a guilt-free experience. These groups are in favor of "cloned" meat because it means that fewer animals will be killed to feed the planet.

Everyone's heard about how raising livestock, especially cattle, releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, so cloned meats will do away with this threat to our environment, in addition to being much more humane!

Those are the pluses.
But, but. The question is, would YOU eat cloned meat?
