PETA just provides a convenient way into the market by being even remotely receptive to the idea. <BR/><BR/>I imagine that once the technology is more securely in place that the fear tactics will be ramped up. No doubt they'll trump up bird flu, mad cow, etc. which is already in the literature. Of course, they have no way of predicting potential issues with cultured meat down the road. <BR/><BR/>You know El, maybe that's what I find so disturbing about the whole thing. Liquified, extruded meat in the form of dinos really doesn't seem all that much different than meat created in a laboratory. <BR/><BR/>And as far as PETA's challenge that it must be indistinguishable from meat even to meat eaters.... Well, no problem since most of the taste and smell for those kinds of things is lab developed as well.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687340159825245112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093811.post-27845059783984506192008-05-11T06:03:00.000-05:002008-05-11T06:03:00.000-05:00You know, I am fairly neutral about this idea. I ...You know, I am fairly neutral about this idea. I think of all the people who adore, say, chicken nuggets and bizarre chicken-filled taquitos and hey, they're not eating meat, or rather, they're not missing meat at all. It's a rapidly growing world with plenty of newly middle-class mouths to feed, mouths that've never even had three meals a day, until recently; the next big step in their lives is three meat-centered meals a day, preferably in their cars, a la us in the good old US of A. SO, yeah, we better figure out how to make more meat, because nobody is ever going to say we should eat less of it!<BR/><BR/>Your animals, though, are quite safe. There'll always be a market for the meat of happy animals :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093811.post-11202902460769152522008-05-10T22:45:00.000-05:002008-05-10T22:45:00.000-05:00I thought they already made that years ago...SPAMI thought they already made that years ago...SPAMWoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877959836671583682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093811.post-89616525560791660722008-05-10T22:30:00.000-05:002008-05-10T22:30:00.000-05:00yikes. i'm not veggie but that really scares me. s...yikes. i'm not veggie but that really scares me. <BR/><BR/>shiver....Omelayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084221498316008069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093811.post-88313051732602969052008-05-10T10:14:00.000-05:002008-05-10T10:14:00.000-05:00One word: Ew!make that 2 words: double EEEEWWWW!I...One word: Ew!<BR/><BR/>make that 2 words: double EEEEWWWW!<BR/><BR/>I'll pass on that one!jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093811.post-20843544160398530992008-05-10T08:21:00.000-05:002008-05-10T08:21:00.000-05:00I'm remembering old sci-fi horror films from my ch...I'm remembering old sci-fi horror films from my childhood.
