It sounds disgusting, and if it happens, the shit will probably kill us, but with the population problems coming in the not so distant future, it may be feasible. Sounds very expensive though.

I heard about this on NPR a month or so ago. It freaks me right the fuck out.

Here's the thing- I thought vegetarians don't eat meat because it involves killing an animal. If there's no animal to be killed, wouldn't that make it ok?

I think they get off on feeling morally superior to the rest of us, so they will undoubtedly find something inhumane about the process to further justify their stance.

I would prefer meat grown in vats. Less pollution/environmental damage, less chance of Mad Cow, and less whining from the formerly respectable PETA folks.

Yeah I have heard the lore. I don't eat fast food often, but when I do, I prefer denial.
