So... Vegetarians...

[Verbal Mike]

This is the best 1st world problem I've ever seen.  Most of the world is fighting over a handful of spoiled rice, and these bastards are whimpering because plentiful meat might be available that didn't require a death.

HERE'S THE REASON:  With non-animal meat available, the most effective selling tool they have for their religion goes away.  They will no longer feel special.  Many of them base their entire sense of self-worth on this sort of thing, so you aren't just challenging their beliefs, but also their IDENTITY.

Well that, and also vegetarian and vegan memes for some reason mesh really well with Cult of the Natural memes.

HELL YES

and thus would render their tattoos out of date.

Oh, yeah, those dumbfucks.

Humans are tool-users.  Technology IS natural for us.

lab meat has about 90% less of an environmental impact. Of course, it has never actually been attempted on any kind of scale, and the actual processing of that meat has never happened, and the electroshock techniques that would be required to turn it from formless goo into actual strands of muscle that look and taste like real meat, has not been developed yet. but ounce for ounce it uses 80-90% less water, 90-95% less power, and produces 98% fewer rednecks and hillbillies than traditional farms and ranches do.

Anyway, there are fortunately several other plants out there you can eat, and some of them even provide protein.

Quinoa for everyone!

A muslim friend of mine  issued a fatwa a few years ago, declaring bacon to be a fruit, and therefore halal, so you're absolutely right.

I like this friend of yours.  He seems so much more reasonable than most religious people I know, of ANY religion.

He's a great guy. He goes by the moniker Mad Mullah Hastur, has a bigger beard than me, and is Norway's leading expert on the history of vibrators.

You will bring this man to Tucson.  We need him.

And if you can't afford the trip, no worries.  Everyone dies eventually, and you two are DEFINITELY slated for Tucson.  Weird bastards.
