Quote: CVPost-rrlund (quoted from post at 10:51:37 12/15/23) Maybe some of you have seen this TV ad. I had it sent to me. There's a You Tube video. I laughed until I literally had tears running down both cheeks. The little girl is so serious and happy. ROFLMAO
As impressive as it may be that you can produce a reasonable facsimile of something as complicated as meat, there are lots of impressive things that can be done but shouldn't be repeated too often. Arthur D. Little really did make a silk purse from a sow's ear. It was the most expensive silk ever made, but it was a lot like real silk.
I disagree with the statement that the cell lines used are like a tumor. I do however agree with the ewe yuck part. It has been a long time since I grew cells in a lab, but I do remember the difference between cancer and normal cells. No one in the lab ever considered eating any of that stuff. It was the pathology department, mind you. You want fake meat, eat a veggy burger.
The video that ewe tube coughs up as a follow on begins with a number of derogatory opinions about meat and cattle farming as science, even claiming to believe in science. Anyone backing up uninformed opinions with the claim that they believe in science either knowingly or unknowingly believes in political science. Actual science is something to be understood, not believed in. There is no need to have blind faith in something that can be experimentally demonstrated. Later in the video, they do say that there is some uncertainty about the supposedly bad aspects of cattle farming, and the ridiculous cost.
You can argue that meat is terrible for the animals it comes from, on account of having been slaughtered. But the rest is pure politics. 'Pure politics', now there's an oxymoron.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
