FAKE STEAK?!?!

This article, located in the science and technology section of msn.com, really grosses me out. I can understand some of the thought process behind creating fake steak, but I do not think I could eat it.

As I read this article, I began to imagine how my steak would be grown. All I can think is “Gross”. I am a steak lover and fresh steak is the best. Going down to the auction and buying a cow, taking it to the butcher, and then bringing home fresh cut steaks. MmmMmm, good!

This article goes on to say that livestock generate 18% of greenhouse gasses. In addition, to that they take up 70% of our agricultural land. Supposedly, if they grow our meat, these things would be reduced. Seriously, does any one care about this? It is the human population that is destroying our atmosphere, and as for the agricultural land, if they are not raising animals on it, then what?

They say the meat would be germ free; no more worries about mad cow, or swine flu. To which I say, “so what?” These germs are Mother Nature’s way of weeding out weakness, and keeping the population down. If we wipe out the disease factor, there would be too many human beings on this planet. What do you think will happen to our ozone then?

The “Dark Thoughts” section on this one is just disgusting. Growing human “meat” from cadavers? They say it removes the cannibalistic context. I really don’t think so. If you eat human flesh, you are a cannibal, pure and simple, no matter whether it is real or genetically manufactured. Yick!

They say that marketing would help them to sell this crap. Problem is most of us do not care that a cow had to be killed so that we could have that steak. God gave us cows to provide us with milk and steak. It is part of the circle of life.

I will likely become a vegetarian if they switch to genetically manufactured meats. What about you?
