If scientists created an artificial meat from vegetables that tasted like human flesh

[blobfish]

Would you eat it?

Now, this is actually a pretty creative thread. I laughed.

This is a tough one

Are they simulating free grazing open range people or grain fed pasture people?

Hobos or pencil pushers? Your choice. The simulated free range hobo is fed mostly alcohol (just like Kobe beef), so it costs more.

 

[knot_sweet]

I was thinking more along the lines of organic diet, exercised people meat vs average people meat, in which case I'd go with option a cos I like my meat to taste like meat, not a lump of slightly sweet too fatty chunks.

You mean its simulated to taste like hobo that was fed mostly alcohol?

...a lump of slightly sweet too fatty chunks.

Human bourguignon?

Exercised people might be too lean, though. I like my man marbling.

Yes..

You're thinking beef. People are closer to porkish. I like my pork free range, so my artificial people meat (let's call it 'I can't believe it's not human' ) would need to be similarly free range tasting.

I don't know, it seems like healthy types would be gamey.

And for the record, it's called "Reverse Soylent".

I like my meat a little gamey.

Maybe they'll have to simulate both kinds to appeal across a wider market.

I'm sure they would simulate all types, except for human veal. That is just too much, even for me.

they can make bacon from pig stem cells. Anything tastes good smoked and cured.

The only type of bacon to which Chris Christie is morally opposed.

 

[knot_sweet]

Meh, don't like real veal, fake human veal wouldn't do it for me either.

Guess there'd be new dinner table fights over the old leg/thigh/breast argument.

Let's not even open the light meat vs dark meat can...

That would give the movie "Look Who's Coming to Dinner" new relevance.

Mega chain supermarkets would probably start substituting fake people meat with the real thing once they realised how expensive the faux stuff was.

I don't think that the FDA would ever clear it stateside. Restaurants have to jump through hoops to serve something as innocuous as breastmilk iced cream.

Be easier to just kill and eat a vegan. They all deserve to die anyway.

I have eaten hufu, so I'd probably try it. It's the genetic similarities that cause the crazy.

Though I'm 99% certain that it was a joke product that was just pork-flavored tofu meat stuff.

 

[OhTay]

hufu super burrito please.

Would you eat it?

How do you know the taste of real human flesh?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Dude! Lay off the purple sticky punch.
It will rot your brain.​

The only exception to my veganism is Chicago-style pizza eaters. Naturally, they would have to be fed only soymilk for several weeks prior to slaughter, in order to cleanse their system of any pizza they may have eaten recently.
