...received the spoiled food are the lucky ones. In village after remote village that I visited in the flooded delta, no government officials had come to assess the damage, much less bring desperately needed food, water or shelter. Blackened, bloated corpses floated in rivers, the putrid smell of rotting flesh permeating the air. Yet few people seemed to hold any expectations that their leaders would help anytime soon.

The terms of the PETA prize state that competitors must create chicken meat that “has a taste and texture indistinguishable from real chicken flesh to non-meat-eaters and meat-eaters alike.” However, recreating tissue as complex as muscle is no simple task. A piece of chicken that is indistinguishable from real chicken would have flesh, fats, connective tissue, and perhaps even blood vessels and neurons. Therein lies the problem. If it looks...
