Bioengineers in the Netherlands are now growing meat in a laboratory where the future of food is being prepared – in a Petri dish

It's true we were warned that lab grown meat was just around the corner back in 2011. Well that corner is here.
A lab in the Netherlands is expecting to produce "meat" in October of this year. Apparently, if it is lab grown, it will be healthier, and contain less of the bad fats, and more of the good oils our body needs.

even more bizzare, the Japanese are researching how to create meat from feces and Chinese have been doing it at a low-tech level for quite a long time
the entire planet has gone insane, our food quality is not a priority anymore, only the profit gained from selling it
I buy my food only from local farmers whose goods I can personally inspect
those of you that still live in the big cities and don't get it, enjoy your forthcoming cancer

Not sure I follow you......
I'm British and I have just ate (7:00am) a nice healthy sandwich comprised of 3 rashers of smoked bacon, 1 slice of Black pudding and 2 Cumberland sausages, all shallow fried with a generous helping of tomato sauce and washed down with a mug of Columbia's finest coffee.
I feel like I can take on the day in style!

That's probably something to do with that idiot Jamie Oliver. The only things I can think of that I would ever eat boiled is rice, pasta, eggs or Haggis.
I would say the average Brit is probably lazy when it comes to cooking, shove it in the microwave/oven/deep fat fryer and forget about it until it is done.
That being said, I do love to make a good curry or pasta bake, or even a nice Sunday roast.
I would love to know where you Americans get your stereotypes of us British from, probably Family Guy, seen a few funny ones on there On that note mind you, it usually seems to be the southern Brits that get it, it's a whole different world up here in the north.
