[ExI] Meat and the paleo diet, again

[Natasha Vita-More]

For marketing purposes, "vat grown meat" does not sound or look tasty.  I
don't remember the McRib because I would never eat such a thing.

Cloned animal cells for harvesting meat would best to described as:
"Organically Grown Cells" and the byline: "Our meat is specifically grown
and harvested to provide the bio-identical proteins for sustaining health
and longevity".  

This covers the "organic" section of the market and the hormone replacement
savvy buyers who look for bio-identical hormones, Peta supporters, and
environmentalists. Of course, vegetarians would not like this, but they
would purchase "Organically Grown Proteins" with the byline: "Our proteins
are specially grown and harvested for a greener tomorrow".

Best,
Natasha

This would suit me too, although I'm quite willing to eat dead animals. If
the "vat-grown meat" would have similar taste and texture to  animal meat,
that would be fine.

Does anyone else remember the McRib from McDonalds? That was a pre-formed
pasty sandwich filling patty porkish thing (with extra sweet fake barbecue
sauce).  If that is what "vat-grown meat" is like it will, IMHO, fail,
badly.
