Meat in tubes?

[DEATHMASTER]

The animal rights group PETA is putting up a million dollar reward for anyone who by 2012 can grow in-vitro meat that looks and tastes like the real thing...The million-dollar reward will go to the participant who manages by 2012 to put test-tube chicken into commercial production and successful sell it in at least 10 US states at a competitive price.

Will never see lettuce the same way again.

 

[Raziaar]

Sorry, I like suffering with my meat. You don't get that genuine animal taste without it.

Also, 1 million dollars is way too little. Any company who achieved that would be raking in billions.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Or individual. Hint hint wink wink...aw hell individual would patent and make teh billionz anyways.

 

[Sulkdodds]

I've always thought that the best way to diminish animal suffering would be simply manufacture animals that don't feel pain.

 

[Krynn72]

I can foresee a bunch of people packing animals into a tube just to piss of PETA.

 

[Raziaar]

Send them a penis pump.

A series of meats.

Wait, what?

Animals that want to be eaten, perhaps...

in vitro meat is already in production ..the caveat is that it doesnt " looks and tastes like the real thing" hence the idea behind the reward ..but because it's peta people tend to shut off their minds and just regurgitate the bullshit they've been spoonfed by the hospitality industry ..I mean this is essentially the same story minus the reward, I'm sure it would have been recieved differently had it been posted instead of the peta PR stunt ..really they should change their name so that people will focus on the issues instead of the organisation

You mean we need to somehow genetically engineer the cartoon critters you see in commercials?

"I taste good, and I'm good for you!" *chomp*

ROFL

If this mass produced meat has the same texture, taste and most importantly the same nutritious value as the real thing then I'm all for it.

10 bucks says fake meat gives you cancer.

[CptStern]

ummm anything cooked on an open flame (like BBQ's) has carciogenics ..which is what gives you cancer

how often do you BBQ your meat ? if you eat fake meat instead of real meat (and if it would give you cancer) you'd eat a lot more meatcancer, because i presume you don't eat of a BBQ as often as you frie or nuke your meat...
whoo there went my english grammer, right down the drain i say, right down !

[Bad^Hat]

I wonder if PETA would settle for a Playdoh substitute. It's non-toxic!

 

[Dodo]

just mix in some meat for the flavor but dont tell them...

I'll just give them the spaghetti playset. They'll never know.

Skum-skimming wasn't hard to learn. You got up at dawn. You gulped a breakfast sliced not long ago from Chicken Little and washed it down with Coffiest. You put on your coveralls and took the cargo net up to your tier. In blazing noon from sunrise to sunset you walked your acres of shallow tanks crusted with algae. If you walked slowly, every thirty seconds or so you spotted a patch at maturity, bursting with yummy carbohydrates. You skimmed the patch with your skimmer and slung it down the well, where it would be baled, or processed into glucose to feed Chicken Little, who would be sliced and packed to feed people from Baffinland to Little America. Every hour you could drink from your canteen and take a salt tablet. Every two hours you could take five minutes. At sunset you turned in your coveralls and went to dinner --- more slices from Chicken Little --- and then you were on your own. You could talk, you could read, you could go into trance before the dayroom hypnoteleset, you could shop, you could pick fights, you could drive yourself crazy thinking of what might have been, you could go to sleep.

From "The Space Merchants" by Frederick Pohl and C. M. Kornbluth. "Chicken Little" is a gigantic ball of meat that feeds everyone.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

I wouldnt trust meat from a tube.

From that paragraph it makes it sound like there isn't anything left to eat but slices of "chicken little". Sorry but that's not what I had in mind....

However if you include "pork little", "beef little" and "lamb little", then were talking.

I'm vegetarian ..so never?

why would anyone ever nuke their meat? microwaves makes everything taste like gooey crap ..and it was definative that even small doasages of microwaves caused cancer they wouldnt have pulled them off the shelves years ago

 

[Remus]

Which begs the question, why are you in this thread anyway?

Microwaved food tastes fine thank you. And where exactly did they pull microwaves off the shelves? We've bought our microwave a year ago.

because I'm commenting on the story? ...duh ..do you ever comment on geopolitics? why? you cant possibly live in every single country ...right?

ok go right now and slap a t-bone steak in the microwave, after you've eaten it come back and post your impressions ..pics + divx would be nice

And where exactly did they pull microwaves off the shelves? We've bought our microwave a year ago.

faulty engrish, it should read:

".and it was definative that even small dosages of microwaves caused cancer they would have pulled them off the shelves years ago"

In Canadonia, where milk comes in bags :O

you barbarians use plastic jugs ..obviously you're all a bunch of earth rapers/earth haters

 

[NeptuneUK]

The person who invents meatless meat that tastes nice will be the one giving away a million dollars to PETA or something rather than the other way round lol.
