No, read the article. It uses a base of muscle and some other stuff to make it "grow".

My question IS: where do they get the "base" ingredients from?? They HAVE to come from SOME animal. What do we do if this catches on and we have a plethora of animals, overpopulating each country??

There was a story about an attempt to grow meat this way, but the pieces grown were just mush. Evidently, they were trying to find a way to "exercise" the meat to imitate actual muscle fibers and structure.

As with the thread on vegetarian meat, I think I'll stick to the real thing.
