They're also creating GMO beef peas for the Kosher and Halal folks.
Edit: This raises additional questions:
0. They claim "organoleptic properties" in their press kit. Did they add animal-like cells or just a few animal proteins in plant cells with cell walls?
1. Would it still be considered vegan or vegetarian?
2. How do you cook these?
3. Has anyone reported tasting it?
4. Is this just for human consumption or to also add protein to animal feed? (Insert bovine cannibalism memes here.)
5. I'm pretty sure this would be banned quickly in the EU for being GMO but which markets would allow it?
Adding pig DNA to Soybeans to make vegetables meatier? What could go wrong. Life finds a way, all the gene modifications will get into the wild somehow.
