And this is how the Tyrant Virus (T-Virus) began - The quest to grow meat in a lab rather than on an animal is due to reach its climax this fall, with the first-ever culture-dish hamburger served to a celebrity taster after a $330,000 development effort. Mark Post, a physiologist at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands, said the project is being funded by an anonymous investor who is interested in “life-transforming technologies” and believes lab-grown meat could revolutionize the food industry. Post has been talking about serving up the first lab-grown burger for a long time, but it took theanonymous 250,000-euro ($330,000) contribution to turn the dream into reality. ||Note: the doomsday H5N1 flu virus was also created in the Netherlands, just 2 hours away in Rotterdam. Just saying.
