a pound of this " meat ' now costs $ 2,400 .

 

however , it used to cost  $ 18,000.

 

clearly a bargain these days !

 

this ' meat '     "   can be made into meatballs , Burger Patties , ands chicken strips "

no mention that I could see on taste

 

"" 1/3d of respondents in the US  [ 673 total asked ] would be willing to eat cell-cultured meat regularly "

 

""  nearly 1/2  said they would choose it over soy-based meat substitutes "

 

""  about 1/5th said they were unlikely to try the meat or would refuse it ""

 

Odd Note  :   no one has even tried it !

 

[ one more time ]

Yikes! O.o

I just don't want to look back and think "I could have eaten that."

Unsupervised, rebellious, radical agrarian experimenter, minimalist penny-pincher, and adventurous cook. Crotchety, cantankerous, terse curmudgeon, non-conformist, and contrarian who questions everything!

The best thing about a vegetable garden is all the meat you can hunt and trap out of it!

I couldn't read past the first couple of paragraphs of the cleanmeat home page. It made me feel nauseous just looking at the picture.

Well, there are people who became vegetarians because they don't want animals killed.

 

This can be the answer.

These same people don't eat eggs or cheese or milk or butter or mayo(OMG), for which no animal died or even suffered. Logic is not in play here.

Those are vegans, no?

Cheers,

That's a pretty dramatic over-generalization -- I know many vegetarians who are opposed to either the actual killing, or the living conditions of your typical farm animal who have no problem eating eggs from their neighbors' backyard chickens.

What did you mean by it? I don't find there to be anything particularly illogical about wanting to eat meat, but wishing you could do it without causing undue suffering to living things.

 

It was lateish and I was cranky.

Apologies to whoever needs one.

I do find the logic of most vegans defective, but they should eat what makes them happy.

The only ones suffering may be those who eat it. :S

I wonder how many folks have actually tasted the stuff?

I could never eat this stuff, partly because it reminds me of an excellent but harrowing book by Margaret Atwood -- Oryx and Crake (which has a sequel, After the Flood, and, I now see, a third book which I must read). In it, there's chicken grown just like that called ChickieNobs. Ewwwwww. There's an awful description of it.
