Last year, it made a meatball.

A meatball? That'll satisfy no one!

[Gamecock]

Fried chicken will never be guilt-free.

No guilt here!

Give me some good old fashioned Tyson's Chicken any day.

Or even Kenny Rogers!

“...meat-eaters could satisfy their desire for animal-flavored proteins without the greenhouse-gas emissions associated with rearing animals for food.”

Are you freakin’ KIDDING me? The main reason I eat meat is to destroy the environment and make EnviroWeenies CRY! Why ELSE would I do it?

*SNORT*

[Pravious]

I wouldn’t eat test tube grown meat if you paid ME $9000.

[rdl6989]

I’ve been eating fried chicken for years with no guilt, in fact I had chicken for lunch today.

[Fiddlstix]

One Meatball

[Cold Heart]

Your reason to eat meat is not why I ate meat. But, You have persuaded me.

[TheTimeOfMan]

“greenhouse-gas emissions associated with rearing animals for food...”

Does this mean we should kill all the animals on the planet? In order to save it?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

LOL!

When they genetically modify KALE to taste like STEAK, I will swing back in the other direction. ;)

[Lazamataz]

Yes, fine, but what about the rights — and the PAIN — of the lab-grown protien???!?

YOU HEARTLESS ANIMALS!

[Trillian]

Fried chicken breast topped with marinara and mozzarella last night. What guilt do they speak of?

[cpdiii]

They will never duplicate the taste unless the culture is fed the same mix of proteins and fat and minerals etc. that the real chicken eats.

I have nothing against these ventures but it must be cost competitive and taste as good or better. My freezer is full of Bambi and it tastes great and did not come out a a laboratory.

[Trillian]

This is preferred on the shirt while in those types of situations ;)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Does Toucan taste like Fruit Loops? Koala like Menthol Kools? Monkey like Banana? ;)

[Trillian]

Rearing animals for food is in the mussie department.

[Hoffer Rand]

Cell Protein Lives Matter!!

[Trillian]

Advertising tells us this so it must be true.

What does Pajama Boy say about this?
