I wonder if they will be giving out free samples in the city centre...?
Will it be appearing on a what's for dinner thread any time soon?

"But the usual question arises: why do people who wish not to eat meat want to have their food mimicking meat"
Perhaps it's to avoid animals being reared solely to provide food for human consumption?
Is it not similar to items resembling ivory being developed in order to reduce the slaughter of elephants for their tusks?

Where is their evidence that living solely on processed plants makes humans more healthy? I won't go into the argument that humans eating meat allegedly causes more damage "to the planet" than if they survived, somewhat unnaturally, solely on plants. Why don't people with these eccentricities simply mind their own business?

I've no idea what that means but it sounds very dismissive of people who either enjoy it now and again like I do, can see some health benefits and prefer to reduce our reliance on breeding animals that cause CO2 problems and then slaughter them

//3D printed meat also consumes far less of our increasingly scarce resources. Growing the materials for 3D printing meat require drastically less water, land area, and energy usage, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.//

I'm not dismissive of them for what they eat, bob. I don't give a toss what they eat. I'm dismissive of them for seemingly wanting me to do the same (see Zacs' post). But I simply cannot fathom why they go to great lengths to make this stuff look and taste like meat. I perfectly understand people who don't want to eat meat. It's not a lifestyle I have any intention of undertaking or even trying but each to their own. But if you ran a campaign to persuade people to eat fewer vegetables, why would it help to produce a piece of lamb that looked at tasted like a carrot? It's simply irrational.
//Perhaps they have been meat-eaters in the past and want to have that experience again?//
Then they can buy a piece of meat, no?
//Would you rather have the real thing or a few tablets and a bit paste that gave you exactly the same nutritional benefits?//
The real thing. A strange question!
