      I dont give a shit about “perfect”. Just give me okay. Actually meat isnt perfect it is just one point in the huge realm of possible combinations of flavour, consistency juiciness, etc. But because its the thing we know, we designate it as the target, the “perfect” food that all meat replacements and artificial meat is measured against.

        Apparently shrimp is one of the easiest things to replicate. Give me scrimp blocks…

      We’ve already essentially perfected it. It’s even being scaled up now. The question is whether or not (at least in the U.S.) it will be legal. It already is not in Florida and possibly other states.

        Yeah and it’s because of big business and lobbying etc.

        Capitalism so fucking stupid. Capitalism is why we can’t have nice things lol.

        We buy cheap shit that breaks and doesn’t last long because if it was actually high quality and long lasting, the company wouldn’t make enough profit to stay in business!

        A new cheaper, healthier, and waaaay more efficient and ethical method to provide protein to people… no way!

        Capitalism blows chunks.
