Jake:

Health nuts should be more enticed than regular meat cuz of not using hormones and probably antibiotics along with controlling type and percent of fat.

This thought has been with me a bit: I saw a package of chicken that boasted it was “Cruelty-Free and Free Range” and simultaneously “Free of Antibiotics”.

Wouldn’t depriving animals of…[Read more]

Enco,

I’ve heard lab grown meat is served in restaurants in Singapore. Still a process that needs to be refined. Carbon emissions will be significantly lower i think. Land requirements obviously far lower. The cells still need food so i guess that and energy are required. How much compared to animal farms? No can say.

Reg,

I don’t know of any atheist Popes or do i but certainly have read about atheist preachers. It is a lucrative gig. Might even do some good if the grifter atheist fesses after the fact. Naa. It probably would not.

Your line, i want to make them think for themselves is something i’ve been pondering. AI might be employed to create good…[Read more]

That was truly excellent Reg. Very well done.

Was thinking about reading the Metamorphosis again. So cool that great literature is available at a click.

Let’s take the ‘Kafka Intifada’  a little further. However, I will coin it the “The Samsa Effect”.

Gregor does know that something has happened to him. What he fails to grasp initially is the significance of his transformation. His world has changed beyond recognition, but his inherited routine of thought continues running as though nothing fu…[Read more]

I am thankful to have vegetable meat. Hope cultured meat is on horizon and affordable too.

There are hot dogs that taste like cheap ball park franks. Sausage as good as sausage from meat. Hamburg a close second but when doctored indistinguishable. Bacon with the texture and not quite the taste and none of that bacony smell. Chicken is not that…[Read more]
