Vote for the Penguin of the Year

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.

This is a f***ed up idea.

thats just as f***ing sick as factory farming.

So you're going to do brain surgery and provide life support for a $4 chicken? Yeah, I don't think so....

Gotta laugh when these city boys come up with ideas.

Anyone who spent 20 seconds in a chicken house would not find vat meat nearly as disgusting.

Seems like this guy is missing the point entirely.

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."
"

@corey>> Instead of afterwards?

>> "I think people are going to be more disturbed by brainless zombie chickens on their plate than densely packed normal chickens."

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.

He's kidding, right?

It would actually be the BLUE PILL - the RED PILL took you out of 'the matrix' and in to the "real world"

Try selling this one to the voters and see how it works out for you.

Can't wait to see PETA's reaction on this

Mike The Headless Chicken Lives!

Did anybody else have horrible HL2 flashbacks just now?

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.

"These conditions are horrifying! I would all right with this, if only someone would behead the still-living chickens first."

I... just... yeah.

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.

Beware, what if they develop an Overmind?

If they succeed, imagine when they apply this technology to humans!
