   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?

         Have you ever seen a combine harvester kill animals sheltering in a crop during harvest, or considered how many animals are killed by the pesticides used in crop production?

            It always amazes me how some vegans go into a frenzy over animals being slaughtered for meat while completely ignoring the bloodbath caused by farming practices used to produce vegan-friendly crops. Not to mention the pesticides that damage ecosystems and contaminate groundwater. The selective outrage and hypocrisy are jaw-dropping.
