Works for me. The food would taste the same while being possibly slightly less terrible for people, and would definitely be less terrible for the planet. What's not to like?

I dunno; I like to know I'm eating meat, not filler and fluff ...

Meh we'll all be eating Soylent Green in the future.

Fact is it is damn near cheaper to eat out than try to make anything at home, and that situations will be far more true in the future.
By the time you buy all the ingredients for a meal and factor in the cost of fuel to cook it, the time it takes to make and clean up after.

Yep pretty much cheaper to just eat out.

I'm not sure I buy the concept either though.

There is a nice oldschool restaurant near me that has been in the same location since the 60's that makes a wonderful 100% beef burger for $3.65. One that's an actual meal and is cheaper than most of the fast food places plus they use all fresh ingredients.   
I think the only time I may ever go to a fast food place again is if I'm on the road.

How much less meat could that crap possibly be??  If they made it 100% pure, they could charge more for it and people would still buy it (but not those that eat too much of the stuff anyway).  I don't see how improving quality could be a bad thing.  Especially when they all seem to be worried about your health now.

Nice link Thrash.

Thanks ...
It almost is cheaper, Tru; I still like to cook ...

This one was great and cracked me up.

>>(from bash.org) <Twig> I just had an argument with a girl I know. She was saying how it's unfair that if a guy fucks a different girl every week, he's a legend, but if a girl fucks just two guys in a year, she's a slut. So in response I told her that if a key opens lots of locks, then it's a master key. But if a lock is opened by lots of keys, then it's a shitty lock. That shut her up.<<


Love that sig Max, made me laugh out loud.

Yeah; me too ...
