    Not really sure what to say on this. It is awkward.

    id imagine the cost for research would far exceed the million-dollar prize.

    wow, I mean wow. I am fairly open minded to technology and even new foods, but this is way too freaking weird. Though I suppose this must mean that McDonalds doesn't do this already and that they do actually use chicken in their McNuggets, as I thought that was a myth.

    Eventually, it WILL happen. Once growing cloned meat in a lab becomes cheap enough, it will replace raising meat animals, which is space and labor intensive.

    But the grants they would get would cover that cost. The million would be a nice little bonus for the team that managed this.

    PETA has outlived it's usefulness by become a parody of itself.

    The causes they jump on now are ridiculous.
