Why Not Cheat Meat?

Because this is a very new, not well-published technology, not many opinions are out there about Engineered meat. Even more seldom are negative opinions it seems. Here is an article by Angie Mohr from Associated Content on why she is against the idea: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2352594/the_ethics_of_growing_testtube_meat_pg2_pg2.html?cat=5

The biggest fear it seems in the fear of the unknown. Yes, the meat can be modified and changed to be healthier and "better". But, it can also change for the worse. She argues that our bodies are developed to handle "natural" foods. Can this tube meat closely resemble real meat enough to satisfy our hunger and not kill us? Mohr doesn't believe so.
