Portia de Rossi’s “Better Off Ted” Featuring Test Tube Meat
Written by Vegetarian Star on March 16th, 2009 in Actresses.
Portia de Rossi is set to star in a new ABC drama called Better Off Ted about a research & development company, Veridian Dynamics, without scruples.
Much of their ideas are generated just to see “what will happen” or “what is possible” including cryonically freezing an employee.
A people freeze? Yikes! Sounds too much like a Zach Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) stunt from Saved By The Bell.
But there is an idea that gets generated at Veridian that’s ethical, test tube meat, and of course dear vegan Portia is totally turned on by it.
“Since I have been a vegan, I have been researching all kinds of ways animals are used in foods, and I see those big warehouses and wonder about what goes on inside,” de Rossi told Buffalo News. “It’s not too far from reality. There are huge corporations that manufacture food and makeup and nuclear weapons.”
It may not be that far from reality.
PETA announced last year it would award a million dollars to the “first person to come up with a method to produce commercially viable quantities of in vitro meat at competitive prices by 2012.”
Entrepreneurs and scientists, get ready, set go!
“Better Off Ted,” premiers this Wednesday on ABC.
