A reader sent this picture to Curious Expeditions, asking if they knew where it was taken. The biggest clue is the building in the background with its distinctive architecture. Can you identify the building or the setting? Link
I believe that this was taken at a nanotorium or sanitarium somewhere in America or Canada. Hot spring fed pools were very fashionable during the late 1800s, and were built all across the US. Their use was believed to cure many ailments from dry skin to serious diseases. Commonly, they were built in a style similar to this, and it was common for construction costs to rise near the million dollar mark - quite a lot of money now, an outrageous amount then. Some examples of these types of structures would be Saltair in Utah, the Bath House at Cedar Point Ohio, the Broadwater in Helena, Montana, adn the Santa Cruz Nanatorium in Santa Cruz California. Sadly, very few of them remain.
And while I am not sure what or where this is, I do know what it is not — This is definately not the Royal Pavilion, wrong color and the archictecture is different - the Pavilion has columns and details while these walls are smooth. The pavilion is made with stone, while this appears to be made of brick. Seeing as the picture came from England, it could be near the Brighton Pier, but I am skeptical — the architecture is just too different.
And while similar, this also isn’t Gripsholm Castle, as this building is rounded on the upper half and much smaller than the Castle. And the Castle has domes, not the onion spires.
The structure isnt a tent, like the ones in Haga Park in Sweden; it has too many details like the battlements.
Also not Saltair or Coney Island - this Structure is definately round (at least the top portion) while both Saltair and Coney Island are both more square. Both Saltair and Coney Island are huge structures; while our mystery building is much smaller.
You think this is neat? You are bloody disturbed. if you all would just learn what vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and fruit were, you wouldn't NEED this disgusting filth. But I understand; you are all too lazy to learn about what your body really needs to thrive. You prefer to think twisted animal technology is "so cool!" because you have crap for brains. You all deserve a week or two in a slaughterhouse. I hope you make it out alive.
I'm for it, as long as the muscle problem is solved. And as far as growing muscle in a dish, yes there is myoblast which could mean growing a full chicken breast or steak from nothing. But I worry about that for one reason. The marbling.
First, I am not a member of PETA and I do eat meat. I am not the typical person who protests how animals are treated, although I am somewhat troubled by it. Second, this is horrifying.
It's just like the chickienobs from Margaret Atwood's novel Oryx & Crake:
" "This is the latest," said Crake. What they were looking at was a large bulblike object that seemed to be covered with stippled whitish-yellow skin. Out of it came twenty thick fleshy tubes, and at the end of each tube another bulb was growing.
"What the hell is it?" said Jimmy.
"Those are chickens," said Crake. "Chicken parts. Just the breasts, on this one. They've got ones that specialize in drumsticks too, twelve to a growth unit.
"But there aren't any heads..."
"That's the head in the middle," said the woman. "There's a mouth opening at the top, they dump nutrients in there. No eyes or beak or anything, they don't need those." "
Yeah... something about brainless chickens is more disturbing than what's happening now. Plus this sounds REALLY expensive and would probably jack up the prices of meat.
I think people are going to be more disturbed by brainless zombie chickens on their plate than densely packed normal chickens. Not to mention the complete lack of muscle development this will cause is going to create a different product.
I'd rather see more development on growing muscles from scratch as meat than this.

On the shores of Lake Mälaren, Gripsholm Castle towers powerfully and fairytale-like over the idyllic small town of Mariefred in Södermanland.
Gripsholm is known as Gustav Vasa’s castle, as it was he who built the castle here in 1537.

Gotta laugh when these city boys come up with ideas.

Nope. People have no clue where food comes from or in what horrible conditions the animals are bred.
Btw: they are growing meat in petri dishes today; zombie chickens are small potatoes compared to that.
