thoughts?
Do we just eat things like crackers and bread-like things because its not socially acceptable to just eat a block of cheese, a slab of salami or a spoon of cream cheese?
make believe meat? food of the future?
I recently found this article online, "PETA subsidised meat?", where I discovered that for the past 10 years, people at PETA have been trying to make meat via in vitro. GROSS.
Well, that's my first impression. Now I throw this in here because it kind of goes into a topic I read about a couple months ago about factory farming in the US. In my blog about it, Nom nom nom, I decided we need to change or find or solution or some junk like that, of course.. something always needs to be changed right?
SO, looks like other people feel the need to make changes in regards to the way we all eat meat, and they are, in a strange way I might add, making a change.
I like to think that making meat out of a test tube is the way of the future, once people get past the fact that it is made in a test tube. I like to think how it will reduce greenhouse gases and pollution and all that jazz. But still, I can't help to think that it's going to cause more problems, it is so unnatural and fake that there has GOT to be something wrong with it.
Just like years ago when someone decided factory farming would be great, mass produce meat to make tons of money and feed the world! I mean they make the money but there are so many bad side effects its just not worth it.
If this catches on, and it really is "the food of the future!", there is going to be some form of repercussion, nothing works that easy.
And would you be able to adjust to eating meat from a test tube anyways? I think it would fail just because people would be too grossed out by it.
The best part about this article, is that they compare it to beer and bread.
"There are many products that we've eaten for centuries, such as beer and bread, and these are accepted, traditional products of biotechnology and this is taking this to the next step,"
Just taking it to the next step, awesome.
I don't know, maybe it is the "way of the future!"
still grossed out,
