Grown pork? Not really something I want. Now I'm glad pig isn't kosher, won't be eating that unknowingly.
I think the most disturbing part about the fish mutation is the purse. Style'n though.
I like the shirt design, and although I wouldn't eat the pork meat grown in a lab, I think it's pretty cool.
I want I want! Goddess of luck, look kindly upon me!
i want this
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Most poems rhyme
Give me a shirt.
BARIUM COBALT EINSTEIN KOOL-AID TSHIRT

I would love to catch a rainbow; apparently you need the red part of the spectrum to create the pork.
I love that feminine fish. It's a hottie.
Must....Have......this SHIRT!!!!!!!!!
Feminine fish. Catching rainbows. What the? And now even meat from a laboratory. Talk about sci-fi turned real! Now if we can just get those transporters and the matter replicators. :o)
The Dome Diva
All the world is a stage and I get to play with it.
givr mr the shirt or i will do nothing
If only I had this shirt...
Even though the sexual identity of bass is beginning to blur, I can sleep well tonight knowing that we can trap the wonderment of rainbows.
It's good to see that public taking EDCs' impact. We've seen it's studies in schools but people tend to brush it off as a simple side effect that will go away on its own.
that is one funky rainbow
I love the idea of harnessing a rainbow. I also like the idea of growing more tissues, and I would consider using them for certain applications, but nourishment would not be one of them.

Just an FYI, your chances of winning the shirt do not increase with multiple comments. One comment per person, unless you're, you know, discussing something.
Thanks!

i know that but i like to tell peoplez what i think about thier comments and to tell you i want the shirt badly
from Gatesville, TX
Wait a sec, is that Charlie Tuna selling Pork chops in drag?
i'd wear it to my mit interview
I would have to wonder at how far out they are from actual marketability on products created this way. It will definately take time to create a market for a meat product created in such a manner. I for one don't subscribe to vegetarianism or anything of the kind but do feel that foods should be natural. While this prototype might be of pure origin just how long will it be before dozens of additives are introduced to make the product more profitable?
For me prease.
i want a tshirt too! :)
srry 4 posting so many comments thought it would help my chances thry delited hem all thtas why you cant see them anymore
from New York, New York
Nice comments! And congrats, Offbeat, you're our random winner (raucous applause). I'll email you to get your info so we can get this shirt on you in time for you to wear it to all of your holiday parties. Hey, we can dream.
For the rest of you: turn those frowns upside down-- you've got another shot at winning amazing PopSci threads this week. Keep on playing. We'll see you right back here on TWITF, a la PopSci.
Have a great weekend!
