If progress has taught us anything it's that it will alway make stuff taste horrible. I have yet to eat any substitute for meat that taste anything like the real stuff. I also have yet to taste a microwave burger that has a taste worth eating either. Why because progress has shown over an over again it only makes food taste like crap. So I will be the knuckle dragging caveman who refuses to eat a lab-burgers because it's healthy, saves animals, and is suppose to be good for the enviroment because I am not going to eat food that taste like someone crapped in a bucket, mixed it with styrofoam, then called it a meal.

It's hypocritical (since I eat meat), but I must admit to not liking the production ideas of the modern meat industry and their factory farming techniques.  So, on that score, I kind of like the idea.

But, somehow, the idea of growing meat really just rubs me the wrong way.  I don't like the concept, regardless of how good or bad it tastes.
