The renewable energy changes and policy

I have traumatic memories of lentils for dinner.

I guess this is one instance in which I’m not going to be green. The above is a list of “what food eats”. (The silver lining is that I’m well past the midpoint if my life, so won’t be buying lightly killed animal for much longer.)

As for all that pseudomeat above, I’ll chill until they can print a dry-aged wagyu ribeye, a foie gras d’oie, and some fatty tuna belly sashimi that cannot be distinguished from animal-sourced by Michelin chefs.

Bonus points for printing the marbling in a cool pattern, like houndstooth or Penrose tiles.
lol at how bad US vegetarian cuisine was a decade or more ago.

I'm making the point that the green revolution is a revolution, not some weird science experiment. Food and food culture will change with the times. Some day, the mention of potato rissole with tamarind chutney will get people salivating. You'll be long gone by then.

Argue with this, it is what I want to stimulate discussion about, and people are free to poke holes in the assumptions, personal dietary ideocracies aside of course.

It's rich man's food. Cannot feed billions of people who live on less than a quarter of what you draw in your retirement. Food grown in vats cannot compete with food that is grown from plants in the field. Not that you should care. You'll be long dead by the time the green revolution is over.

I’m counting on it. The smell of Indian cooking makes me throw up a tiny bit.

I’m hoping that they will find a way to precisely duplicate otherwise authentic old-school recipes like Châteaubriand and ceviche. I fear a campaign to make l’ancienne cuisine a dirty word/memory.
In the meantime, if they can make an animal-free Camembert or even a FcNugget, all power to them.

All I can say folks is watch wait and see, 6 years is not that far away, and neither is a decade really and it is the world people in their 50s and 60s should experience and perhaps hate! It is the implications of if it works out as they predict that caught my eye as well as the timeframes for whole segments of the industrialized agricultural world to vanish, or morph, fisheries too. As I mentioned self-replicating stuff is not hard to scale.

On what? Sativied not liking something not meaning it’s not up for discussion? That I’d like to see lol


*Unfriends* *blocks* and reported!


If only that were true ;)
Well, after reading that report, you will know why those "cunt farmers" are freaking out in a half to a dozen years. They might be talking about it more than me, and not in friendly terms! :lol:

I'm an avid collector of cookbooks and have noticed how much the cuisine covered in cookbooks published today has changed compared to what was popular in earlier times.

This is a great cookbook from the early 1980's. I have a copy. This year I fixed a version of turkey for my family's Thanksgiving turkey from one of the recipes in his book. Things have changed a lot since then. Paul is gone. His invention of Turducken remains. The average life expectancy of adults in the US has declined. Correlation is not same as causation but there is something there

I’m less skeptical despite my own preference. The younger generations are willing to go to further lengths, not bad is their like.

When are you going to join the foodie thread in TnT?
How can they be assured that animal cruelty wasn't involved in their meal! :lol: They are finished ethically and the corporations and their PR departments will love the animal rights and environmental issues.

It's already planned to reduce 50-75% of the live stock, they'll have plenty of reason to freak out regardless in 6 years, which is still overly optimistic. It's a good report, not by far my entire frame of reference. I don't have to "we'll see" to see now that's obviously not going to happen to the extend you imagine in that short time frame.

foodies are aghast at the prospects!
That's a too broad brush, plenty are actually excited about the new opportunities it brings. The average meat consumption per person in NL is only 50% of what it is in the US. In India, home of the best food one could possibly create and eat in this part of the universe, it's only about 2-3%. Point is, the level of resistance won't be the same everywhere.

That said...

Ever seen the inside of an animal meat factory? Frankenstein is an understatement for the horror hell scenes in a slaughterhouse. I wish butchers had the same clean working environments those labs have.
I've been to slaughter houses and rendering plants to pick up and drop off loads, worked in 2 meat packing plants and even a pet food factory where I had the pleasure of standing knee deep in a cement pool full of animal parts floating in blood separating the various parts, lungs, livers, kidneys, tripe, throats etc into plastic totes for later use in different canned pet foods. All run thru the 'Hogger' for grinding before going into the big mixing tank to be pumped over to the canning and cooking part of the facility.

Tho not a hunter I've had my hands elbow deep into freshly killed animals helping to field dress them so I'm well aware of the process that puts meat on our tables. I don't much like the killing part but if push comes to shove I'll knock down a deer or moose to feed us here should the need arise. Recently got myself a nice .270 deer rifle just for that purpose and a 12 gauge pump for the two-legged varmints that might show up should the world go to shit and starving hordes spread from the cities in search of food.

Hopefully it never comes to that.
