A truly intriguing concept, that apparently has come to fruition (pun intended). Read all about it here .
Now my questions are: What does this mean for vegetarians and vegans since no animals were harmed in getting this meat? Also, is this playing “God”, or is this simply something designed for the betterment of mankind.
IMHO I think this could be a truly fantastic thing. If the trees are able to grow in most climates, you could bring meat to areas of the world where it is too expensive to raise cattle. Also, what would this mean to people in India who view cattle as sacred? This isn’t technically a cow, so would they be able to eat it?
What are the downsides to this? Can the trees get Mad Cow Disease?
Neither the “UltraModAgri Group” or “Dr. Vincent Tartley” show up on google. OTOH, Michael Chiron, the story’s author, is a regular contributor to The Weekly World News, and other fine sources of bullshit.
