Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Test tube meat
Someone has been watching way too many episodes of Star Trek.
Quote:
It sounds improbable -- and more than a little creepy -- to eat meat produced in a lab, but in the latest New Yorker, Michael Specter explains why test-tube meat may just be the steak of the future.
In vitro meat works by taking the meat from one animal in order to create the volume of meat from one million animals. Currently, pig stem cells are being placed in "nutrient broth-filled petri dishes," where the cells rapidly grow, NPR explains. Specter spoke with scientists who claimed him that there would be no difference in taste between lab-produced meat and animal meat.
Some of the reasons to produce in vitro meat, Specter told NPR, include the positive impact on animal welfare (PETA approves) and lowering greenhouse gas emissions, in which global livestock is responsible for almost 20%.
It may still sound like a bizarre concept now, but who knows, maybe in 50 years eating animal meat will be considered archaic.

Just one more reason to raise your own meat. At least you know what you're eating is the real deal.
