If McDonald's have proven anything, it is that people are willing to eat anything non-toxic, as long as the taste is good enough.

Personally, I don't really care how the meat is made, as long as it tastes good. If the "meat" was really just insect proteins and spices, it wouldn't much matter.

Basically I added shit in my chicken balls. Now the chicken balls taste like meatballs. It taste better and stronger than Ikea's meatball and contains less calories

The Replicator on Enterprise must be some fancy Chemistry set. BUT I still think I would stick with the natural products

To recreate the flavour is to recreate the food.

Je n'ai de cesse d'attendre le jour où on pourra communiquer des odeurs et des goûts avec nos cellulaires.

Yet there are vegans who take soy, add salt and keep saying how it tastes like meat.

For crying out loud, just eat real food! We've been doing it for millenia
