People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants to pay a million dollars for fake meat -- even if it has caused a "near civil war" within the organization.
...
But, Ms. Newkirk said, the decision to sponsor a prize caused "a near civil war in our office," since so many PETA members are repulsed by the thought of eating animal tissue, even if no animals are killed.
I don't agree with PETA as an organization. That being said, if they could grow me a filet mignon in a test tube and do it with less impact on the environment than cattle farming, I'm there.
Why there's some PETA people who would be against eating a test tube steak, I don't know. No animals are being killed.
