'Cultured' meat i.e. lab-produced tissue for consumption could lessen the impact of wide-scale destruction of our rainforests, which are culled to raise crops and graze animals for slaughter to feed the world's burgeoning meat-eating populations. Emergent economies like China and India are meat-orientated.
The science is likely to be developed in five years time. Scientists from Oxford and Amsterdam Universities are working on the production of lab-grown tissue.

Roni Size haikus 21.06.2011.
Source The Guardian Review
Drum and bass pioneer rapper Roni Size, aged 41, accused of GBH, was found not guilty in court of throwing his girlfriend down the stairs at his Bristol home. Size was a Mercury Prize winner in 1997.
He was born Ryan Williams.
Man with giant-sized
ego ( no mark) makes lots of
marks on his girlfriend.
Act your age, not your
shoe size, Roni (we know your
real name is Ryan.)
Base behaviour thrown
out of court. Roni gets just
rap over knuckles.

A robin alarmed
A robin on a
fence post
puffs himself out
for all he's worth,
dipping and tittering,
shaking like an alarm clock.
He knows his enemies
in a linear way,
knows the way of all flesh.
So he squares up
to this sudden shocking plunder
of bulldozing proportions,
squares up to something
forty times
his size.

Wimbledon balls 20.06.2011
Source The Independent
Wimbledon opened for business today... 25,000 bottles of champers will be knocked back and a punnet of strawberies will set you back £2.50 for ten (berries). Bubbly has risen to £61 per bottle. The sliding 80k roof has only been used twice since it opened in 2009.
Much vaunted vaulting
comes to sliding stop, champagne
may leave punters flat.
Twenty five thousand
bottles of bubbly knocked back,
like balls at Wimbers.
Ten strawberries for
how much? Champers for Sixty
quid? What a racket!

RIP Brian Haw, a straight haiku 19.06.2011.

On the same day that a Nato airstrike killed 9 civilians in Tripoli, Britain's longest protest against these illegal adventurist wars of occupation in the Middle East mounted by a single person, and the longest solo peace rally ever ended when the heroic and dignified Brian Haw died.
Dear Brian, may you
rest in peace as a tireless,
dignified peace warrior.

Martin Fletcher reports from Tripoli.
A NATO arstrike killed 9 citizens in an apartment block in an early morning strike.
"Nato regrets the loss of innocent civilian lives and takes great care in conducting strikes against a regime determined to use violence against its own citizens" said Lt.Gen. Bouchard, commander of 'Operation United Protection'.
It was not clear, reported The Times, which nation in the Alliance fired the errant missile.
Nato unity's
so strong that no-one's owning up
to targetted strike.
