I’m sorry about this post, but it’s not the sort of thing I could just ignore. When I read it this morning, all I could think was “Why…for goodness sake, WHY...??”
You might want to eat your dinner before you have a look at this link. It really shouldn't be read on an empty stomach!
The gist of it is that some idiot scientist has managed to produce ‘synthetic meat’ in a lab. He seems to think that this is a more sustainable way of producing meat and may eventually help solve the problem of providing enough food for a rising world population.
Obviously, we all know that meat production is a very inefficient way of producing food, so why didn’t he just suggest that people stop eating meat and change to a more grain and vegetable based diet? Too difficult for him, huh?
“Professor Post's group at Maastricht University in the Netherlands
They are off-white and resemble strips of calamari in appearance. These strips will be mixed with blood and artificially grown fat to produce a hamburger by the autumn.”
Hell’s Bells! Now doesn’t that sound delicious...?!
I’ll tell you what, Professor Post; you eat your lab-grown, synthetic meat hamburger and I’ll just have a tofu, cashew nut and vegetable stir-fry, if it's all the same to you, thanks.
