Then he grinds muscle tissues and mixes it with artificial animal fat to produce cloned beef used to make burgers. It’s said that the cloned beef (just 140 grams) costs 250000 pounds (around 2.35 million RMB). Too expensive! The one who donates money for this project is said to the first diner. According to the scientist, it takes around six weeks to grow the steer’s stem cells into cloned beef. It can be put in the market in 5 or ten years. Currently, we use more than 70% of our agriculture capacity to grow meat from livestock. If we don’t figure out another way, we won’t afford to eat meat in the future. In fact, we have already eaten many GM vegetables though the cloned beef sounds unfamiliar to us. If you had a chance to taste the cloned beef, would you give it a try?

According to a report I read before, there are not enough steers that can be provided to meet all Chinese people's needs. That's why some businessmen cheat their customers by providing pork and other meat to replace beef.

Furthermore, why should one pay so high for something artificial while we can have something natural and cheap? Sometimes it is unfortunate that China has not enough supply of beef that it has to resort to declaring pork as beef. Wan

Except for the short supply of beef, the sellers are dishonest. They are lack of morality. They do everything as long as they can make money.

I am pretty sure that you don't know there is a kind of substance that can change pork to beef (not only in the appearance but also its taste).
