I just threw up my mouth a little thinking about it. I’ll keep paying more for real meat.

I learned many many years ago that as hunger increases you become less picky about what you eat.

*Clicks "buy" on a few new sets of broadheads. *


Lab-created gems are one thing. Meat, hell no. All it takes is one little oops in the process and we get extra fingers and an arm growing from our foreheads.
Just the idea of that is pretty appalling and I'm sticking to my no.

That's exactly what I was thinking Plus, it's green.

vegans eat crops grown in a lab... its just outdoors with sun and rain

to take it further look up the japanese sky scraper farms, 100% automated from planting to watering to harvesting

What would it be like? Spam? Hamburger? Turkey bacon in factory made. Cold cuts might as well be lab made.

Right. Because hunks of bloody muscle, flesh, and fat hacked off of a dead animal's corpse are objectively less disgusting.

Not only do I not object, I look forward to it. The only thing we have on this planet that we don’t have on any others we know, is life. I’ve always thought it’s tragic, since life comes only from life and is supported only by other life, that we are doomed to an eternity of killing and eating our fellow living creatures. I am not a vegetarian BTW, I just find the situation not to my liking. I’m all for tasty, nutritious, lab grown mush.

There’s a revolution in farming right around the corner.

No, not for me.
