lab-grown meat tissue? enormous "ew".

speaking as a vegetarian who really misses bacon and sausage and chicken and and and and charred carcinogenic goodness, i say: bring it on!

well, frankly, i'm a not-vegetarian who is trying to overcome her cravings and often losing. but whenever i start to think about the origins of what i'm eating, it helps me to get away from it. and lab-grown meat tissue pushes my Yuck Button just as much as the real thing, when i think about it.

even if it's zesty human tissue?

[melanie.livejournal.com]

yes, probably. having smelt the scent of my own flesh burning (wound cauterization), that would probably ick me out, too.

(i couldn't handle any form of pork for a while after that surgery)

Have you begun the series by David Zindell? Those huge vats of meat are exactly what the people of the "civilized worlds" eat. They wouldn't dream of actually killing an animal for food.

Won't somebody think of the PETA workers?

I find it fascinating how just two days ago (was it two or three?) that you mentioned letting huge amounts of meat decompose. This is just your artwork in reverse; it grows in vats rather than decomposing in a large cube.
