The future: Meat Mountains

by dr dij . Updated 18 years, 2 months ago

An interesting article and a strange source: Peta is the one offering the X-prize for test-tube produced meat.

Would you eat knowingly eat this? Would you if it WASN’T genetically modified animal but simply raised in vats? Could this be the answer to the world’s appetite for eating animals? Soylent-Green?

I’m mostly a veg so I’ll stick with BBQ soy-ribs (actually pretty good, flavor in meat comes mostly from the bbq sauce, same with soy ribs.

But one sci-fi story of an overpopulated earth had each apartment building with a vat containing a ‘meat mountain’ that they carved off a hunk of nitely.

And unlike Torchwood episode, it was simply a hunk of non-sentient reproducing cells, not a gigantic alien salamander in a warehouse in England being snuck into school lunch programs.
