- BrainInAJar, on 04/12/2008, -10/+76I'm a vegetarian.
If they can make cruelty free meat, I'm all over that like a redneck at a steakhouse - brokenspatula, on 04/12/2008, -15/+68don't we already have a planet and meat?
- inactive, on 04/12/2008, -2/+49More importantly, can people have a planet that is made out of meat?
- RHA0, on 04/12/2008, -19/+55The cruelty is what makes it taste good.
- mentallyinhell, on 04/12/2008, -7/+39And murder tastes damn good too.
- mentallyinhell, on 04/12/2008, -5/+36I can't even begin to predict the vegetarian reaction to this.
- bunit03057, on 04/12/2008, -3/+26I'm a vegetarian.
My main issue is with factory farming, the use of growth hormones and antibiotics,
all used to keep the animals alive. I assume this will do away with the need for that.
So I'm for it. - cerealjynx, on 04/12/2008, -4/+24Same.
- bitterbug, on 04/12/2008, -2/+21It will do away with the need for the animals too. Once the meat is all grown in labs cows and chickens will be virtually extinct, except for the few holdbacks who try to do it the "old-fashioned" way and end up being attacked by radicals.
I'm not saying that vegetarians or vegans are all radicals, but once only a small number of hobby farms exist, they'll be much easier to organize against by the ones that do have radical views. - PaganHeathen, on 04/12/2008, -0/+16Mmmm can I have another one of those petri-tenderloin steaks please? It is the only cultured way to eat.
- sgtpppr, on 04/12/2008, -1/+17That's completely untrue. Chimpanzees are extremely violent and are the only primate that actually cannibalize each other. I think you need to get your facts straight. Chimpanzees are also the only primate they have studied that engage in primitive warfare in large packs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_troglodytes
"Although omnivorous, its diet is mainly vegetarian, consisting of fruits, leaves, nuts, seeds, tubers, and other miscellaneous vegetation, supplemented by insects and small prey. There are also instances of organized hunting; in some cases, such as the killing of Leopard cubs, this primarily seems to be a protective effort, since the Leopard is the main natural predator of the Common Chimpanzee. However, the Common Chimpanzee sometimes band together and hunt Western Red Colobus Monkeys (Piliocolobus badius) for meat. Isolated cases of cannibalism have been documented. Chimpanzees have also been known on rare occasions to attack and eat human infants.[4]
The West African Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus) is the only animal besides humans known to routinely create and use specialized tools specifically for hunting. Chimpanzees near Kédougou, Senegal were observed to create spears by breaking off tree limbs, stripping them of their bark, and sharpening one end with their teeth. They then used these weapons to kill galagos sleeping in hollows."
Chimpanzees are seriously not to be screwed with. Go look up the 'private chimpanzee zoo' incident where that guy almost died when chimps attacked him and tore off his nose, one of his hands, and chunks of various other parts. - bagboyrebel, on 04/12/2008, -0/+14it's called heaven, or at least it should be.
- BrainInAJar, on 04/12/2008, -0/+13...waiting for them to grow human meat in a vat, for human consumption...
- cerealjynx, on 04/12/2008, -1/+14Nah, more like a robo-cow. And you can bet your ass there'll be lasers.
- trispear, on 04/12/2008, -1/+14"I guess a cow without a brain in other words?"
Paris Hilton 20 years from now? - DharmaTurtle, on 04/12/2008, -3/+15As a vegetarian, I think this is frickin awesome.
(Yes, I really am vegetarian, read my digg history.) - 4Prophecy, on 04/12/2008, -3/+15Sorry, meant to dig you up. Meat pollution really is a HUGE hazard and waste of resources.
- serif69, on 04/12/2008, -1/+13Have you ever eaten bacon? You'd be brainwashed too. Brainwashed and satiated.
- uberdilly, on 04/12/2008, -5/+17Meet your meat:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIjanhKqVC4 - AZNL473ncy, on 04/12/2008, -0/+11SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!
- insomniac8400, on 04/12/2008, -3/+14Why is this odd? Imagine all the synthetic chemicals you drink and eat daily. This is actually a natural food.
- redcolumbine, on 04/12/2008, -2/+13If they can get it to work, I'll try it. So long as it's done here and not in China. This will require some kicker industry standards that are actually adhered to, double-checked, and enforced. But I sure wouldn't mind having this option if it were safe.
- sgtpppr, on 04/12/2008, -1/+11The problem is overpopulation is killing the planet, but no one wants to touch on the taboo of regulating population growth. Instead, we spend all of our time and effort trying to find ways to very slightly slow the impact of the overpopulation. it's like ***** in the corner of your room daily and putting some newspaper over it, spraying some air freshner and trying to ignore it for a little while longer. Even if you create all human food in a lab that has no effect on the environment (which is pretty much impossible), it still does not address the core problem and only gives us a very small amount of extra time before we go extinct.
- inactive, on 04/13/2008, -10/+20Have you ever sat down and tried to figure out where you went wrong in life?
- 35263526, on 04/13/2008, -0/+8I'm a veggie who converted later in life and I hope that this comes to fruition within my lifetime. No amount of quorn can replicate a steak.
- sgtpppr, on 04/13/2008, -1/+9No, you said we are herbivores biologically and tried to prove it by saying we are close relatives of chimps and they don't eat meat...which is completely untrue. They are omnivores (meaning they eat both plants and animals) that have very similar eating habits to humans. There are primates that are herbivores, but it's certainly not the common chimpanzee. The whole 'try to kill a chicken with just your teeth' line is just irrelevant. Humans have unlearned many things from nature. Most humans would die if left in the woods with no food, tools, or clothes for a month. Doesn't mean we're not animals, omnivores, or pretty much anything except 'no longer suited for living in the wild'. If I dumped a rhino in downtown New York, I'm pretty sure it would die. You're just proving if you take an animal out of it's current environment it will have a hard time surviving...which is pretty obvious and not debated.
- kru1e, on 04/12/2008, -3/+10good thing thats not really creepy...
- serif69, on 04/12/2008, -0/+7I'd be a construction worker and dig foundations. My tools would be a blowtorch, salt, pepper, some cayenne, a knife, and a fork.
- bxblox, on 04/12/2008, -0/+7Its delicious. Not really an obsession, just a good enough reason.
- sgtpppr, on 04/12/2008, -1/+8The irony here of course is that people will think this is horrible, yet consume huge amounts of chemicals made in a lab daily. If it wasn't for creating many of these things in labs, we'd be even more of a strain on the environment. Even the 'natural colors and flavors' and formulated in a lab from many different 'natural sources'.
- serif69, on 04/12/2008, -2/+9If they can engineer a steak that tastes like a NY strip and cuts like a filet mignon, I'm all over this.
- sgtpppr, on 04/12/2008, -6/+13I love the 'appeal to emotion' anti-meat videos that are meant to prove meat is bad by shocking the viewer with gross imagery. I'm going to start a campaign to stop all pooping by showing someone taking a big steamer with a close-up on the butthole during the business. If it's shocking and gross, it MUST be 'morally wrong'.
I love animals because we are animals. Animals kill other animals for food. i know it's somehow comforting to believe we are not 'of nature' like Christians believe, but we are. Go watch video of a crocodile picking off an antelope drinking out of a lake in Africa and then complain to the crocodiles that they should be eatting overpriced Tofu from Trader Joe's. - logpony, on 04/12/2008, -1/+7***** you. I know you are just DYING to say "sheeple," but Digg doesn't want your lame revolutionary thoughts.
- johnpaul191, on 04/12/2008, -5/+11I still wouldn't eat it. There are many many reasons somebody is vegan.
- ZenMojo, on 04/12/2008, -1/+7Can people have BREAD and a planet, too? That's what I'm worried about right now.
- uberdilly, on 04/12/2008, -2/+8 Big stong man like meat and sex with wife grunt grunt.
- uberdilly, on 04/12/2008, -4/+10are you proud to demonstrate your lack of ethical faculties?
- TrevorBradley, on 04/13/2008, -0/+6"I can't believe it's not Cow" will be the greatest investment those against cruelty to animals could ever make.
It'll probably be cheaper too. - inactive, on 04/13/2008, -0/+6It's because meat tastes good. Is there something wrong with me because I think meat tastes good?
- Hetman, on 04/12/2008, -1/+7It seems kind of disgusting. But if it is safe and taste the same it would make sense to do it. Especially if it is cheaper or faster.
- bizkit00, on 04/12/2008, -0/+5steaks need blood, but they arent going to be making steaks. ground beef for your cheap deep-fried taco bel taco, doesn't need blood.
- roflcopters, on 04/12/2008, -0/+5Eventually the price of cultured meat will fall well below that of normal meat, thus lowering the price of food.
- kd1s, on 04/12/2008, -0/+5Reminds me of an episode of Torchwood. The mystery meat was coming from this humungous creature.
But culturing meat could allow some food flexibility. - uberdilly, on 04/13/2008, -1/+6Nice video. It's unfortunate you miss the point. To equate factory farming with a jaguar hunting for food in mother nature is simplistic at best. Our nest of rational faculties and the ability to understand the concept of suffering sets us apart from other animals. Killing prey is a matter of life and death for that jaguar. What was demonstrated in the video you probably did not watch is not necessary to ours. Faced with the realization that the meat industry is driving our planet into a methane and co2 filled hell as well as being riddled with animal cruelty I think going meat free is the right thing to do. With that said, I am not a militant vegan. I certainly find permiculture environments and humane slaughter farms to be acceptable. This video gave me a profound outlook on a world that most people tend to never look into because it is hard to watch but I think it is important for people to see. After all knowledge is power right?
- elfprince13, on 04/12/2008, -0/+5reminds me of the fungal foods in the Foundation Series. Trantor had a whole portion of the city dedicated to growing the highest quality mycoprotein.
- MrWhite7, on 04/12/2008, -0/+5You can get buffalo steak....
- bitcloud, on 04/13/2008, -0/+5very original... 5 stars
- deMonkey, on 04/12/2008, -2/+7I don't agree that our meat greed is killing our planet, but meat requires a hell of a lot more water than plants. This is because for every pound of meat it takes something like 50 pounds of vegetation, so all that must be grown and fed to animals to fatten them up. Then you've got to give water to the animals, too. I'll stay out of this post, but that's what was meant about water usage in animal farming -- it's definitely a waste of energy/land when compared with plant farming.
