I wonder if I'm the only one picturing the Jesus freaks flipping out over this.

At first look, I was repulsed, but then again, I've eaten Quorn...

i think most of this still applies:

"For thousands of years, people have farmed, and feared starvation, and throughout all that time, they kept animals for slaughter. Animals are a way of keeping food fresh, and making it mobile. Their hearts beat, their immune system immunise, and their legs walk. Animals are a way of using up otherwise useless vegetable matter. You grow a pea plant, and harvest the peas. The peas are a tiny proportion of the plant. This seems wasteful, but you can then feed the rest of the plant to a pig, which turns the pods and stalks into pork. Shelling peas requires effort, and then you have to store the peas. Letting your pigs into the field where the pea plants were takes two minutes, and the pigs do the rest. While they are there, they root about, and turn over the soil for you, and fertilise it with droppings. Animals are also a good insurance policy. Crops fail, but the mass loss of stock is very rare."

You would think something so obvious would be obvious...

People HATE cows, man.

I think this is totally cool but it will probably never taste like the real thing. The idea of exercising meat on a treadmill is as fascinating as it is creepy.

Quorn is awesome.

it can't be worse than factory farmed meat. i've been eating free-range beef and it is SO MUCH BETTER.

Organic milk, too. Fat free tastes like 2%.

HEAVEN

Cool!!! "Cows line up at the unemployment office. 'We'd rather be flame-broiled patties instead of just another bloke lookin' for work!' said MooMan, spokesman for a Kansas dairy farm."

OMG. That is so gross and so encouraging all at the same time.

That's one science fiction trapping I wasn't looking for

[a-muse-d.livejournal.com]

and yeah, like someone else mentioned, i can totally see the Jesus freaks not being down with it.

Meat without the murder couldn't possibly taste as sweet...
