In what has been billed as a ‘world first', fast food grown in a
laboratory was served up in London recently. Hardtalk speaks to
professor Mark Post who says his `in vitro burger' could be the
answer to our unsustainable appetite for meat and help ease the
burden on the environment. There's clearly a need for more meat -
the World Health Organisation estimates annual global production
will have to double by 2050. So will meat grown from stem cells
in a science lab ever make it to our dinner plates?
