I’d be willing to eat it even if it cost slightly more and tasted slightly worse. I like meat, and if I could take the suffering out of the chain I’d make a moderate sacrifice for it.
A Japanese scientist has produced meat from “sewer mud” that actually uses the bacteria with soy added for flavor- It supposed to be a very good product simulating roast beef once you can get past the origin- If you did not know where it came from, it would make perfect Vegan food as the exploited specie has no face or eyes, just healthy safe bacteria- Now that is the Vegan requirement for products, no face, no eyes, which puts leather out of their lives- Oh, the origin of the product does not matter as the “sewer mud” is just a waste product of society while the bacteria are the actual food source. Perfect food for the Holy Ones. The Vegans often distribute graphic fliers when someone is trying to eat a burger. Eat sh*t Vegans.
I’m not a vegetarian; on one hand it would be nice to be able to have meat that for sure doesn’t involve animals being stabled in horrid conditions, beaten up, killed…
but on the other, I don’t trust the majority of the companies which are likely to perform that kind of research as far as I can toss their boards of directors one-handed.
