With lab grown meat we could see the advent of ethical cannibalism.

Don't worry, our source cells are from the most depressed individuals we could find. And our workers are the poorest immigrant pre-teens to ensure maximum suffering.
Don't forget to try our human tiddy sour cream, it's sourced from the same pre-teens!
You want some of this? You want to really eat this? Hit the button and subscribe, and you'll get monthly shipments of meat grown from various parts of my body!
Thighs would be easily the tastiest part, should be more expensive imo
Sounds like it’s a personal choice.
I use all parts of the animal :)
Terrifying
Then I eat it
Name checks out?
I could see people from onlyfans auctioning their meats. It's the only natural progression of lab-grown meat industry.
I hate that you're right about this
Clone a Willie will be a much different product.
Holy fucking hell, that's a non-chalant way to express a horror movie setting. It sounds like something out of Hellraiser.
Hellraiser 10: The Fundraiser
If this happens, I predict there will be at least one serial killer (or intended serial killer if they are caught before making it to the minimum) that will start there but then will become obsessed with the idea of eating the real thing and will make it happen, starting with some randoms and eventually going for the OF whose meat started it for them.
"cannibal" is a derogatory term. Nowadays we prefer to be called gourmetally challenged.
"Gourmetally free", surely, without the oppression of the squeamish crowds?
Look for the ones that drink a lot of beer. It'll be like Kobe beef but human.
Hmmmmmmmm I thought prion diseases were (usually) a result of eating brain matter and occasionally the result of eating non brain matter that shared a body with a brain. By this understanding, the risk of prion diseases wouldn't be a factor as only the misfolded proteins of a brain are ones that can be risky.
A prion is just a misfolded protine that has some adverse behavior that your body can't detect (there's a mechanism that if your body identifies a malformed protine, it will terminate the cell making it). Anyway, prions live in this small region in a Venn diagram whereits can't be detected, but can still replicate and cause harm.
We mostly think of prion diseases (like mad cow) affecting the brain, but I dont think prions are isolated to the brain... Prion deseases happen to involve the brain a lot because a misbehaving protine in your brain will have a lot more apparent effects
In lab grown meat there is less risk of prions than in natural meat. Prions occur naturally and accumulate in the body, specifically the brain, because we have no way to get rid of them. In lab grown meat, the risk of acquiring prions through the animal’s diet is eliminated and the risk of the animal acquiring prions itself during its lifespan is reduced, assuming the meat is grown over a shorter period of time. This is true regardless of what kind of animal the meat duplicates.
future billion dollar idea right there
Eat The Kardashians
Including the microplasics
Thanks, that reminded me of the story of "Perfume" again.
And the film Antiviral
I can see someone submitting a DNA sample to Ancestry and watching the horror/drama unfold.
What would be worse - finding out the sample came from a missing person, or someone who never offered the donation?
This was the Mormon agenda all along.
Why would we eat lab-grown human when there are so many delicious animals to be had?
Secondly, A1, Heinz 57 or Lawry's?
Just s & p, that's for me
A1 for steak, 57 for burgers, only used the Lawrys marinade but now I gotta try some of the sauce.
Agreed though, why go for long pork when pork pork is already so tasty?
Novelty? Not wanting to talk to your grandkids?
There's also the film Soylent Green (1973), though that isn't lab-grown human tissue
'The Ophiuchi Hotline,' by John Varley. A food engineer is sentenced to death after the authorities discover that her 'banana meat' tree has human DNA. Great read.
Could I grow my own meat and then tell people to eat me?
🤢🤮
Reminds me a bit of the plot the movie Antiviral but with meat instead of illnesses
Technically, I guess.
Unfortunately, we still seem to be very far away from it replacing our usual way of growing meat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0zCf4Yup34

Can you labgrow your own body's meat? That would be more like chewing fingernails, swallowing your own blood or nibbling the occasional piece of skin, right?
Auto-cannibalism is different than just normal cannibalism
MeBurger!
Me-gan
Bro, move. I need to use the shower.
100% I can imagine it becoming a fad for couples to eat lab grown versions of each other's genitals.
I would absolutely eat my beautiful calf muscle, dry rub
I am what I eat.
That reminded me of this old thing.

Enjoy your side of kuru! It's the gift that waits to give, but once it starts, it never stops!
I mean, it's probably less likely to happen, but it is a prison disease, which means it can kind of just suddenly happen if a protein folds the wrong way (if I'm not misreading the internet wrong about it)
Though it seems like you're relatively safe if you stay away from brain tissue, so I guess you're probably fine.
Still, I'll just ask you what it tastes like before I'd try it myself haha
Finally, I can try my own liver with faba beans and a nice chianti
There was a spoof documentary in the UK a few weeks ago about this! https://youtu.be/_c4mUH-p2Fg

You ever had lab grown meat?
@lemmy.world
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
