Lab-grown chicken will soon be available in restaurants in Singapore after the country became the first to green-light meat created without slaughtering any animals.
U.S. start-up Eat Just said Wednesday that its meat had been approved for sale in the city-state as an ingredient in chicken nuggets.
The news marks a “breakthrough for the global food industry,” said the company, as firms increasingly try to find less environmentally harmful ways of producing meat.
“I’m sure that our regulatory approval for cultured meat will be the first of many in Singapore and in countries around the globe,” said Josh Tetrick, co-founder and CEO of Eat Just. More
Great. Frankenchicken. This will not end well.
…Singapore should have stopped at the invention of the Sling…

So who’s going to be the first to eat edible poop?
…it generally doesn’t end well when someone thinks they’re a better creator than God, as the devil could tell you if he weren’t a complete liar…

A question from curiosity:
Would a vegetarian find this an acceptable food?

“A question from curiosity:

…well, since vegetarians are deeply unhappy people that only use their food choices to try to spread their misery to others, I’d have to say no…
How deep do you have to plant chicken seeds?
IVAN KONNOV – I LOLed.
“How deep do you have to plant chicken seeds?”
And if chickens get in the yard where they were planted and scratch them up and eat them, does that make them cannibal chickens?
So many questions to consider.

“How deep do you have to plant chicken seeds?”
…as deep as you can, to judge by the roosters behavior…
But I swear McDonalds got there first…
As a young man in the 1960’s I read all about this in a 1952 Novel named “The Space Merchants”
The huge slab of vat grown chicken was named “Chicken Little”. It played a part in a an insurrection.
The book is still available. It aged well.
If I were you, I’d read it.
Is this related to the McRib article?

Check what else they’re cooking from my ‘pen post.

The media has been doing their best to feed us inedible poop for at least thirty years, edible poop may be a refreshing upgrade.
Frank Herbert’s Slig Tanks born!!
I may have to look up The Space Merchants by Frederick Pohl. I am always looking for good sci fi from the golden era of sci fi and I noticed that it’s still in print. Thanks for the tip. Anyone else noticed that the older sci fi is far more imaginative and well written than most of the newer stuff since the 60’s and 70’s. I am a huge Clifford D Simak and Robert A Heinlein fan. If you’ve ever read the short story Small Deer by Clifford D Simak you’ll know why, great story about intergalactic alien hunters.
…here’s what it REALLY is…

So – after you kill em you do not have to hang em by the feet to drain the blood?
When IO was a kid used to think watching headless chickens run around was fun. Ok I was a sick kid.

Glad to pass the tip on.
If you never tried Jack Vance, you need to.
His “Tschai”, “The Demon Princes” and “Durdane”
series of books are wonderful SF and his
many individual novels are always a treat.
Some of these are fantasy and what a ride.
Look up his “Dying Earth” series and say hi to Cugel
before he picks your pocket.
Vance’s prose and imagination are unsurpassed.
