Ephemeral Isle: Alternative Menus

Alternative Menus

Test-tube meat creeps out of the Petri dish again as Dutch scientists announce that they are working on lab-grown pork. Exactly how raising meat in a bio-factory with all that that entails is more "enviro-friendly" is beyond me.

I prefer the plan put forward in the Times by Jeremy Clarkson: Save the Planet; eat a hippie.

On second thoughts: Yuk!

Also, some of the science that Jeremy reports in his article sounds a bit suspect (aerosols cooling the atmosphere doesn't sound right); but the article is still a larf, so I don't mind.; Monday, 4 June 2007 08:02:00 o'clock PDT
