I wonder if it tastes like lab rats. 8>)
In the mid-70s I bought a small package of ‘immitation’ ham. It was a soy/plant product. The taste was sort of like ham, but the texture wasn’t. It was sort of stringy and soft. Comparatively, the price was a bit higher than regular ham, IIRC.
That was the first and last ‘immitation’ meat I ever bought.
No, No and No. No to artificial meat. Meats meat and man’s got to eat.
They have done that already on some packaging. I think fish. No country of origin.
the effort should concentrate on making beef.
Which, philisophically makes no sense as no animals are suffering or dying to make that product. But who ever accused PETA of intellectual integrity?

In the 50’s we got mutton and horse meat at school.
They’re not going to disrupt anything with that cost.
Why not? They're liberals. They always have it both ways.
The day they refine this process to the point where they can generate meat for pennies a ton, and can distribute it to places like Africa, will be the day that all leftists will come after this technology with all guns blazing. The vilification will be more extreme than to a Luke-Warmer writing a column in the New York Slimes. Even if Trump came out and personally condemned the technology, the liberals would still hate it.
Eat yer tumor, dang it! Children are starving in Africa...
I remember ‘soyburgers’. Nasty!
Stopped eating meat in March of 2016.
Because of The Gentle Barn in Tennessee, a farm rescue sanctuary.
That did it for me.
It's amazing how well his science fiction stories anticipated todays technology
about the only trend he missed out on was the sudden shift from huge mainframe computers to small personal computers and smart phones. Then again, neither did IBM, Burroughs, DEC, Cray, UNIVAC, NCR, Control Data, Honeywell, General Electric and RCA so I guess Piper can be excused on that one.
BTW, many of Piper's old stories are public domain free downloads in e- book format on Project Gutenberg at www.gutenberg.org
Wait until the voter base in Minneapolis wants to outlaw pork production.....
The next step would be for lobbyists to convince congress that identifying labeling should be stopped.
The chicken I buy is fully labelled—where raised and processed...ABC—Anywhere but China!!
Yes, if you have freezer space and can get 1/4 of beef, that is great idea!
