There was a radio-show from the 1950's, which had a chicken-heart experiment,
in which unlimited growth ended up covereing large parts of the earth. I
suspect it had a happy ending (Col Saunders showed up?). Perhaps less a
chance to grow food then an express use for tissue engineering?

<<An ancient science fiction dream has been growing meat in vats, providing
high quality protein without having to kill animals. New Scientist has
an article at http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99992066
about an early experiment showing promise along these lines>>.
