It is perfect mystery meat for sure but @Patrick is talking about growing it. Like, don’t forget to feed your pork roll so we can harvest for breakfast tomorrow…
Wouldn’t that be something special? 😄

My opinion is if one is going to eat red meat, eat a real cow, not something grown in a lab. And all of these “plant based” processed concoctions being sold as healthy… Oh wait, this isn’t a serious thread or about health. Oops😁🤷🏻♂️

Since this thread is out to lunch already I can't do any harm by pointing out that the ridiculous part of my brain identified that adding a letter B to just one word changes the context of this line completely.

Incredibly profound yet fantastically flawed
I think it's somewhat remarkable that this thread didn't go *another* way with the original question and perhaps a bit surprising that there appear to be some who've put sincere thought into their own feelings on cannibalism. Good for you. This forum is fun. So okay - let's get amoral and start justifying, shall we?
If you really take the time to think about it, whatever delivery mechanism or packaging you choose for the nutrients you consume, in the end those nutrients are more or less the same, right? If you accept the old saying that "you are what you eat", then basically all meat eaters are really just eating the "post-processed" version of whatever the animal they are eating ate, just neatly packaged in the cohesive bonds of muscle tissue, right? And if you go back far enough in that chain, it all comes back to plants, doesn't it? For example, if you ate a lion, you're really just eating a post-processed gazelle, which is itself post-processed plants since gazelles generally graze on grasslands. In that way, aren't we all vegetarians? So, following this incontestable logic, doesn't the question of cannibalism really just come down to one of how fresh you prefer your vegetarian diet to be? That is, if you are going to eat a person, the only real difference is whether you get your plant-based nutrients post-processed one time or many. If you eat a meat-eater, there is the possibility that the nutrients you're consuming have been processed through multiple previous meat-eaters before they reach your palate. If, on the other hand, you eat a vegetarian then your plant-based nutrients have probably only been processed once beforehand. So the only real question for any reasonable person when it comes to cannibalism is degree of freshness on the veggies they're consuming. All the other stuff - questions of the relative ethics of consuming a sentient being with loved ones and tangible dreams - is just colored bubbles and probably nothing more than the slick marketing of the beef lobby to keep you filling their coffers instead of, say, letting doddering old grandma be of genuine use one more time.

So what @1speed is saying is if we eat @jimvreeland we satisfy that plant base faster with touch of sweedish fish sweetner.
