I've heard about this and as a heartless, evil, murdering meat eater I fully support it and think more funds need to be allocated towards it. The end results are awesome to imagine: cheap, resource efficient meat. We could control the exact fat content, as well as the toughness or tenderness of the meat. It would be space efficient as well; instead of using large fields for grazing or growing the feed for domestic animals we could have much smaller "factories" producing the meat. The fields once used for grazing or growing feed could be used to grow stuff for human consumption or allowed to turn back into forest. Research into this could also spur big advancements for the medical field. Muscles on demand for those who lost muscle due to traumatic injury.


or....we could spend that money on researching homeopathic male enhancement pills...

Edit: oh, and maybe this will make the vegans finally shut up. I doubt it, but maybe.

These are masses of muscle with no brains, to get to his level of stupidity you somehow have to get more retarded than that.

Yes, but we must never forget that SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE! 

Male enhancement pills? Hey, trust me- being hung is over rated. 

Having spent my youth around farms and animals, a lab or warehouse grown food supply does have a certain appeal. If you wonder why, hop on a tractor and go muck out a stockyard.

If you want world peace, just make XXL dick pills that actually work, that will solve all of the world's problems!

The first requirement would be a giant time machine so we could all go back to 7th grade.

This shit

Soylent. Still working on it, they haven't solved the problems completely. Cost wise it is about equal to an equivalency per person for regular meals.

I was intrigued by the idea originally, but lost interest. You lose a lot with just a liquid diet. The human body is designed to digest solid food, and the physical sensation of eating is part of the satisfaction.

Considering the level of effort and cost going into taking an animal from the pasture to the table and all the steps it takes, I think it is a great idea. But considering the number of people employed in just moving and processing meat, and the powerful corporations involved, I don't expect to see it any time soon.

Here is some meat that you may want to consider.

The product is typically referred to as “schmeat” due to the fact that it grows in sheets.

They definitely need a marketing team. Who the hell is going to stuff schmeat into their mouths?
