    > Then, suddenly, the nausea hit... The problem was not the flavor, not the texture, but the knowing. The Knowing. Knowing about the fat tank, about the sticky white substance...

    I feel like squeamish people are probably not the best ones to write about novel meat products...

      So a tank is problematic, but a slaughter house is fine?

        Nah, these are the same folks that have never watched earthlings.

        If we made it so before one could eat meat of the animal, it had to personally kill and watch the animal die, we’d eat less meat.

        It should be a requirement

          It used to be that pretty much everyone who ate meat butchered it themselves. They still ate as much meat as they could.
