That looks nice? Like if you told me it was steak I'd ask why you'd overcooked it, but if they're presenting it as a new food product it looks tasty

Yeah, just looks like beef done in a crockpot or something.

I would ask why you chose to serve it on a shiso leaf with exactly 4 peas and a sprig of microgreens.

If you ordered steak and that was what the kitchen sent out (and remember, it's supposed to be steak; that's the entire premise of the article) and you ate without complaint... I mean... I guess that's your choice? But it doesn't look like good steak and it doesn't, to me, look particularly appetizing.

Man, if you think synthetic diamonds got done dirty by the creepy colonialist weirdos who run the diamond market just wait until you see what Smithfield rolls out the first time someone tries to market the first styrofoam tray of lab-grown sausage. You'll see more 'concerned' 'mothers' on TV talking about Frankenfoods and it will be another example of the capitalist ruling class laughing themselves to the bank while they harness the hilarious ignorance of the greens.


The moment that producing a pound of lab-slab beef is cheaper than from a cow it's over. All the time, cost and energy in turning cows into beef just being undone by growing it in a lab somewhere. Imagine you are a restaurant, or a food service place. People don't give a hot poo poo about nutrition in those places and you are going to try to drum up concern if their tendies are 'real' meat or not?
Cost crushes all and even if there was some sort of beef De Beers.

It looks like, uh, old roast beef. In no way steak-like. I have to agree fully with you there.

If they would just market it honestly, it would be fine. Plant based meat replacement. Not "a steak" or "brisket" or "short ribs". I mean, come up with a new name that's a little catchier, but stop selling poo poo like this as something it's not, pretending the whole way. Make it it's own thing!

What's with the article they linked saying meat causes cancer? Given who linked it, I assume it's fake or incredibly misinterpreted so they can spread their own message.

It turns out that eating a moderate amount of processed meat every day, such as hotdogs or bacon, raises your risk of colorectal cancer by 18%. For comparison, smoking raises your chance of getting lung cancer by around 2300%.

Overall, the lifetime risk of someone developing colon cancer is 5%. To put the numbers into perspective, the increased risk from eating the amount of processed meat in the study would raise average lifetime risk to almost 6%.

Yup, there it is. You don't suddenly have an 18% chance of cancer, your already low chance is increased by 18% of that number.

Like almost every "normal thing causes cancer" study, there's some evidence for it under extremely specific circumstances that can be created in laboratory research but don't really exist.

It's not a brand, it is a material that can be formed into a resin.

I've made sous vided apples before, and they were amazing.

Bananas are good too, right? I'll add some bananas with the apples and cinnamon.

I forgot what temp I'd cooked the apples at, so I tried 75. It's like 13 degrees hotter than the chicken was!



I made 2 perfectly good apples into completely inedible hot uncooked apples in dissolved banana slime.

Why do people keep saying that the fake meat will be somehow more hygienic then regular meat? Still going to be made in a processing plant with plenty of opportunity for horror.

It shouldn't have parasites though.

Meat triangle looks like a side of something with the fat on the outside but was possibly vomited on before putting it in the oven. If I had to guess it's pork joint.

Because they need an argument to sway people who don't believe that slaughtering animals for consumption is inhumane. Thus: "It's filthy!"

I did a longform piece on a local pork plant as a midterm project when I was studying broadcasting years ago. Looked like a normal production facility--everyone was wearing PPE, tools and work surfaces were sterilized regularly, and the company's rules for personal hygiene were being enforced (hairnets on facial hair, etc.). The inputs were sterilized at least three different ways before the first cut was even made. All in all, it looked more than fine to me.

Of course, they're not all going to be like that, but PETA and the like want you to immediately think of those grainy "hidden camera" films from the 1960s where there's blood all over the floor and nobody is wearing gloves and people are sneezing into product containers and poo poo.

Fake edit: Maccarony Chease test run went surprisingly well this weekend, so I'll set aside time to whip up the real deal this week (waiting on a delivery before I can start). I was originally going to do a joke write-up where I screwed up the ingredients and instructions in general but I got to thinking about it and decided it would be a neato experience to try to actually make it the way someone would've back then.
