>> meat derived from sheep

How do you “derive” meat from a sheep? Aren’t they already MADE out of meat?

Apparently, there is an industrial process that the ovicultural industry has kept secret for 6000 years.....

How do you “derive” meat from a sheep? Aren’t they already MADE out of meat?

That's a common misconception. Before you can get mutton or lamb out of a sheep, you must first process it through a sheep extruder.

"...used mice genetically engineered to be susceptible to amyloidosis..." Could one of the biology experts out there explain something:
If you genetically engineer a mouse to be susceptible to a disease, aren't you increasing the chance of anything causing the disease?

Good thing we've got that insurance:

I thought it was a magical process just like transfiguring cows into beef and pigs into pork.

I once saw a cartoon, featuring two test animals in adjacent cages. The caption read,

These humans feed us nothing but laundry soap for six months, and are surprised when we get sick!

Also, lamb meat from the first pressing of the sheep extruder, known as “extra virgin” is generally of the highest quality. Extra virgin lamb meat is also known as the “chops,” with lamb “chops” typically fetching a premium price at the market.

Maybe, but PETA is thrilled!

[jiggyboy]

I hope it's just duck livers that are the problem. Ah heck who am I kidding, I'm not giving up scrapple at this point anyway.

[MarineBrat]

Sometimes these things can come back to haunt you!

[Nervous Tick]

I never imagined! It must take a big ram to push that sheep through the extruder.

Hey... ewe wouldn’t be pulling the wool over my eyes, would you?

[LantzALot]

You aren't supposed to notice.
If you do notice, you aren't supposed to say anything.

How do you expect "science" to progress if you keep bringing up obstacles?

[chaos_5]

The researchers used mice genetically engineered to be susceptible to amyloidosis, which can be inherited

So, they had to fabricate the results...

[Atlas Sneezed]

I wonder what fractional equivalent of the test subjects’ body weight they were fed, and where I can sign up to be a subject!

>> meat derived from sheep >>........... How do you “derive” meat from a sheep?

Don't ask. It's much more horrible than "deriving" meat from a steer.

[null and void]

Aren’t they already MADE out of meat?

Yes. And if we weren't supposed to eat them, animals wouldn't be made of meat...
