On top of that, the meant can be nutritionally improved and grown so as not to cause circulation problems. so PETA, I am very impressed that you have taken this initiative.

They even offered one million dollars: http://www.peta.org/feat_in_vitro_contest.asp. They'll be ecstatic I'm sure. And they certainly won't be out of jobs, there's plenty of other forms of animal abuse in the world, sadly. This is a great step towards ending the most widespread, though!
