$1 million to scientists who can produce lab-created meat: PETA

Animal rights activists are offering scientists a $1 million (euro630,000) reward if they can produce commercially viable meat in a laboratory.

The reward would go to the first scientist who develops a method that produces enough meat to be marketed in 10 US states at a price competitive with prevailing chicken prices.

To cash in, scientists must create meat that is indistinguishable from regular chicken in taste and texture, according to a taste-test panel.
