Why would it seem gross? It looks like a clean and safe alternative for dead animals.

The possible reasonable alternative - eating bugs like larvae or crickets - isn't very attractive as well (at least in the western world). I'd rather eat in vitro meat, to be honest.

The biggest acheivement would be ending vegeterain smugness!

Meat eater myself, but never come across vegetarian or vegan smugness, not even close. What I have come across are unprovoked attacks on the above mentioned by some meat eaters, who for some reason get offended when people choose to get their proteins from other sources.

@mphello It's a cruel irony too. I've never met a vegan who pushed their beliefs on others, till someone asked them about it. The moment they begin to even TALK about the issues WHAM they're being "smug" or "extremist". Feminism gets the same type of reaction,but at least it's protected by HR laws and political correctness. You can't blame someone who's genuinely misinformed, but for those who are AWARE of the facts, but still choose to look only at what they want to see-well that's pathetic.

@pooscifer

EXACTLY! GREAT JOB!

All the vegan-haters are FANATICALLY OPPOSED to looking at the REALITY of factory farming, OPPOSED to looking at what the REAL issues are. They are fanatical extremist denialists, precisely because they cannot and will not look at ALL sides of an issue before making up their minds and taking action.

@mphello lmfao. Did you read what I said? I'm on YOUR side here. I'm saying THEY have the guilty conscience, which is why they get all butthurt when you point out that they're violating basic ethics.

[mphello]

@pooscifer

= Ethically, you're right.=

Then that is ALL that matters. I don't give a fuck about this unprovable psychology shit.

e.g. There is no way to prove whether anyone has a "guilty conscience" or not.

[pooscifer]

@Ignorantf00l D'aww, it's fine, so long as you buy organic (make sure you KNOW it's a humane farm though, none of this "free ranged" deceptive bullshit) it's not too big a deal. You'd still help add to the minority who ISN'T having their money scammed out of them by an industry that repays them by ruining their economy, environment, health and basic ethics.

[Ignorantf00l]

@pooscifer Yep I know. That's where the guilt is from.

[pooscifer]

@Ignorantf00l Now you do. Do you know what goes on in factory farms? WHY veg*ns get so fanatical about this shit? It's not just eating meat; eating meat from one of those humble cutesy mom n pop organic farms doesn't really bother most. It's factory farming that's the issue.
