Thanks PH.

Of course absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the chicken processing facilities burning to the ground all over America!

p.s. Nobody told Grates that the "cultivated" in lab Steak got there first?

Even more sick is that the FDA doesn't believe this crap should be labelled correctly. They're going to sell it without disclosing what it is, as usual.

"This is the latest," said Crake.

What they were looking at was a large bulblike object that seemed to be covered with stippled whitish-yellow skin. Out of it came twenty thick fleshy tubes, and at the end of each tube another bulb was growing.

"What the hell is it?" said Jimmy.

"Those are chickens," said Crake. "Chicken parts. Just the breasts, on this one. They've got ones that specialize in drumsticks too, twelve to a growth unit.

"But there aren't any heads..."

"That's the head in the middle," said the woman. "There's a mouth opening at the top, they dump nutrients in there. No eyes or beak or anything, they don't need those."

The Great Regression + The Great Dumbing Down = Everything Tastes Like Monkey.

Am quite sure that no money changed hands; it’s ‘the science’ right?

You see, the problem is that when I tell people not to eat that crap from McDonald's, they eat it anyway because they like the taste of it. They tell me, but we don't have money for healthy food. I ask them: do you have money for health care in the near future because of eating this?

The biggest problem is that people are actually consuming it - and yes, we should say enough, but how do we say it when people just go ahead and eat the crap?

You are spot on, I say the same thing! Go ahead enjoy your crap foods now, hope you got the insurance to pay later because you’re WILL need it.

I eat organic and pasture raised and finished meats , eggs and dairy, it’s really not that expensive.

How about losing the cable and cell phones, amazing what you can afford.

And better yet, your brain will thank you along with a healthy body.

I dunno it’s really that simple, but maybe too simple for the simpletons?

In my view, it is not just about the food. After all, a trip to the supermarket will produce a far cheaper meal for a family of four.

Four Big Mac Combo meals are going to cost 48 bucks.

(A milk shake maker only costs 25 bucks on eBay)..

The advertising is slick and the chance to get out the house and do some people watching is a pull.

Pretty sure (?!?) the US FDA has put a stop to his:

Which would make the footless chickens look healthy in comparison!
