   They should make exoskeletons out of fake pork muscles, so that they exercise while you move; and if you get hungry while moving you can eat a part of your exoskeleton.

   But where’s the suffering? That’s what adds the truly magical flavor!

   This machine will destroy all vegans/vegetarians!

   I’m all for making the meat instead of cutting it from a dead animal, and the pig as a species will die out.

     Piss on that. I like eating my meat the way nature intended. Off of dead animals.

     The pig as a FARM ANIMAL will die out – wild pigs will remain, assuming any wilderness remains

       Be careful, pigs are smart. If you free them from the task of feeding humanity, they may fulfill their destiny and start to fly!

   I don’t see what the “blarrgh” is. It’s the same as the stuff that comes off the animal, just without having to kill an animal to get it. That’s the whole point.

     i think my source is like…the daily show… but they did a bit on this and a scientist working on a project like this said they called the meat “shmeat”, because it tasted like a mixture of shit and meat.

     lets hope they get it right tho.

   The primary problem with this will be that it will be 100% lean, with no fat tissue. While it will be healthier, in theory, it will also have little to no taste and absolutely no texture worth eating. Hence why they would have to inject minerals and flavor to make it somewhat palatable, and it can only really be sold as sausage.
