World's first lab-grown burger is eaten in London

The first lab-grown burger, made in the Netherlands with stem cells taken from a dead cow, has been cooked and served up. This one cost £215,000, but could the technique become a sustainable way to provide the world with meat? Scientists took cells from a cow and, at an institute in the Netherlands, turned them into strips of muscle that they combined to make a patty.One food expert said it was "close to meat, but not that juicy" and another said it tasted like a real burger.
