That is just wrong. I love technology but I just feel it is going a bit too far. Maybe I have read too much sci-fi but I reckon it's going to come back and bite use in the arse big time.

I wonder how we would cope if the lights went out tomorrow?

That would be an interesting experiment, pull the plug one night with no warning. Only essential services, ie Hospitals and critical data records would keep power. but the rest...hmmm, would FU the economy a little, but only a short stoppage, about 12 hours...Then again I am a sick bstard sometimes.

Is it kosher? :hmm:

[joea]

Will never eat that.

This is the best thing ever. It will free up huge spaces of land for other uses and the nutritional quality of meat can be manufactured to be far superior compared to the traditional method. Bye bye mad cow risk.

No fat? Fat is flavour! No blood, so no black puddings? Anyway who'd have a burger without blood and juices oozing out. Plus any decent burger has to contain fat or it's dry and tasteless. It'll end up being so full of additives to make it taste "real" that it will be unhealthier than the real thing.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with industry practices, but the Mad Cow disease is OUR fault. We keep feeding the cattle ground-up sheep and bone-meal back to cattle and sheep(it's a cost-saving initiative, but it flies in the face of natural process). I can understand using bone-meal and un-marketable meat in dog and cat food (both eat meat in some measure). But feeding meat to a herbivore is bound to cause problems somewhere down the line.

Here's an article about it: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medi...hp?newsid=5008

And a book I reccomend reading is "Fast Food Nation." After reading that book I don't eat fast food anymore.

Soylent Green had that one covered too..the old push bike generator in the living room trick--Go.. Edward G Robinson... go...

reckon Old science fiction stories should be compulsory reading in all schools -

reckon they ought to genitically create some sort of life form that strips the carbon out of the atmopshere and turns it into healthy oxygen...that might help prevent the agricultural land being gradually turned into barren desert or arctic wasteland--

oh hang on ...we could allways just enforce the planting of huge tracts of forests..nah not fancy enough-far too liberal and wishy washy that concretely reliable soloution..-the human race is fixated on technology when the answer is often just to do the obvious and easy thing--it really is
scary..

The world of Soylent Green is coming, yummy:p

Fingers crossed we don't end up with "the Omega man" instead!!!
