DALLAS, TEXAS, August 11, 2013: Jeffrey Weiss of the Dallas Morning News has made a request of HPI readers:
“You may have seen media attention given to a beef-ish product grown in a petri dish. For example:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/08/130806-lab-grown-beef-burger-eat-meat-science/.
My question is: How would this product be understood by Hindus? Is it beef? Is it even meat? What are the issues that would need to be addressed to make a decision? Would a Hindu eat it?”
