cows would probably be able to survive. buffalo populations would be a lot stronger if people hadn't come into the equation.

domestic cows aren't buffalo, though

think of all the new jobs that would be created by the Vat, involving standing on walkways jamming the meat back in with broom handles when it tries to escape

With nanotechnology maybe your house could just have a meat vat and a goods vat and amazon could just become a vat seller

one of the issues they are having with vat meat flavor and nutrition is since it doesn't have blood it's missing the iron in most traditional meat

it is proven that meat is more delicious when it was made with suffering. in fact the premium vat meat will occasionally pull in and consume terrified vat workers for added dread flavoring

also they didn't think to add fat to the vat meat, so right now it's 100% lean
