Hot juicy burgers from a bioreactor. Yummy.

We're already faking butter and cheese, how much longer will it be before "I Can't Believe It's Not Dead Animal" makes an appearance in our supermarkets?

For the life of me I cannot understand vegetarianism: in order for you to survive, something else has to die, be it a carrot or a Bambi. Life is life, and death is death, and to me the only difference between an onion and a cow is the "cute and cuddly" factor. Rank sentimentalism. You've still participated in a killing when you eat your tofu and salad, just as surely as you did when you chomped down a rib eye.

And if this is the end result of the vegetarian philosophy, I surely want no part of it! How much more out of touch with nature can you get then synthesizing "meat" in a "bioreactor"? Soylent Green, anyone?

I ate a field roast for dinner last night, because I am a vegetarian and those are the types of things we eat.
