Problem with that is farmers wouldn't do that. They'd make the food pesticide resistant and stray it with even more pesticide. It's kinda hard to make something resistant to pests after all.

I also believe you should only eat meat if you're prepared to kill the type of animal you wish to consume. I Eat plenty of chicken and fish and have killed both myself before preparing and consuming them. Anyone who eats meat but is disgusted at the idea of killing an animal is in my eyes a ****ing hypocrite.

I've done that before and I disagree. Some people are sensitive to blood, especially the smell.

I'm not, but you can't punish people who are. And no, you can't just "man up". Have you ever harvested crops before?

No harder than most other GM techniques actually, the genes for pest resistance are known to exist in other plants and bacteria, we just gotta put them into crop plants.

Just a few quotes from lectures last year (if you're interested in learning more pm)
Many R genes have now been identified. cloned and sequenced. Introduction of R genes into the same species or closely related species confers resistance. When challenged with the appropriate pathogen, the transgenic plants undergo localized HR and SAR. Examples include the introduction of the tobacco N gene (resistance to TMV) into tomato, potato Rx and Nx genes (potato virus X) into tobacco, and transfer of resistance genes against bacteria (Pseudomonas syringae) and fungi (downy mildew) from resistant to susceptible Arabidopsis ecotypes.

Maize: Cry1A vs. European cornborer and Helianthus zea
Cotton: Cry1A vs. Cotton bollworm
Potato: Cry3A vs. Colorado beetle and Cry1A vs. tuber moth caterpillar.

The majority (>60%) of cotton grown in the USA now comprises transgenic lines which express Bt toxin. This provides a very high level of protection against the cotton bollworm

Hell yeah meat is meat. I don't care if it's been genetically modified or where it come from. The only thing that bothers me is how it's tastes.

That's the main issue I see with it tbh, but otherwise I'd eat it. If no animals have to get killed, great.
 
I consider this another step in forgetting how to take care of ourselves without high technology tbh.
 
But as a society, we'd all starve, as cross-breeding has pretty much made everything we eat today.

I wouldn't throw Animal Husbandry to what we currently ascribe to "high technology".
 
Several thousand years of cross-breeding makes them pretty high tech in my mind. But ignoring the food aspect, we'd still all die, stripped of high technology. There'd be no vaccinations, or medicines.

You realise we've cross-bred plant species too?
Not a single crop species can survive well in the wild anymore. They all need human intervention against pests, weeds, drought and competition.
 
At least, until we GM them to be invincible. But then the middle-class Daily Mail readers would all be like "Ohnoes Frankenfoods!" and the government would ban them.

Stupid reactionary antisciencers.

Even then we'd need to change how they disperse seeds too. Most of them are too reliant on us planting for them.
Goddamn lazy plants cba rearing their kids properly -.-
 
That's why we need robots. Big humanoid ones with guns for arms, for the sole purpose of spreading seeds.

Just employ (read: enslave) a bunch of Harvest Moon fans to plant them for you. They're basically robots anyway.

No pms, none of you love science enough! ;)

I was thinking we could enslave jews to plant seeds but there probably aren't going to be enough.

Good point.



You know...I don't think I care anymore. As long as we do not eradicate naturally existing species to "make room for" these things, fine, whatever. In fact, it's probably better than doing some pretty horrific things to animals like we do now.

Actually, am I allowed to care about how brutally we treat animals? Or is that against our supposed modern thinking?
 
Well, by growing sheets of meat, we no longer would need to brutalize animals.

Plus there might be a point where we buy proprietary "MeatSheet Makers" that you sit on your counter-top and install store-bought nutrient cartridges in to grow your bacon.

Sort of like that nano-tech thing I saw a video for.

Not going to happen.
 
I read the thread as "Would you eat vag meat?"

And I was all like HELLZ YEZH AMIRITE GUYZ!?
 
As long as it's proven to be the same (or better, taste and nutritional value wise) as regular meat, I'll shovel it in without a second thought.

That's what she said.
 
VAT MEAT!

11/10 sluts can't tell the difference!

But then again the 11th has lost all sensation of taste.

Actually it's more constructive than your post, and I was coming back to edit it when my connection decided to fail out.

I saw a 3D short on nanotech fabricators that use raw materials to make electronics and stuff. Pretty far off.

Now, a machine like that making meat isn't going to happen. I'd think it would require so many controls it would be too expensive for the consumer market.
 
I was half-joking. I'm well aware of how furiously complex a MeatSheet Maker would be to design, test, and mass-manufacture.

Not to mention how badly it would suck if it broke.

And how bad it would be if I could engineer a hotdog with like...healthy properties. The universe would transplode. It would make no sense. Tastey things cannot be good for you.
 
What about digestive cookies? I don't know about you, but I find them to be delicious.
 
Have not looked for them to be honest. Meant to today at the store but forgot. What are they made out of? Is it a cookie, or biscut?
 
There are implications beyond what the OP says, mostly concerning health issues.

If the vat meat were good to my health and helped me in the same way ordinary regular nutrients in regular meat helps me, then hell yeah, I'm all for it.

If the vat meat were bad, say it made me grow an extra disfunctional dick or something, or cancer, then no.
