#2 The word ersatz is almost universally a pejorative, but unicorns gotta fart and poop skittles while hoovering up VC cash and fleecing gullible investors.

#3 I seem to remember a SF short story, Asimov maybe, about a cooking contest where the winner used a forbidden ingredient, real garlic or mushrooms, and when it was discovered all the judges threw up.

Quite funny when it was just a story.

#4 So now some jagoffs are declaring it's better for 'the environment' to make shit in fucking labs instead of growing plants (and raising animals)? They're all fucking nutbags.

#7 These things I think would be fine for extended space missions (or deep sea) where occupants need their daily ingestion of goop nutrition and can select form and a selection of flavors. Especially if the food gets 'recycled' back into the system.

The meat printer sounds like a medical device; print off skin for burns, or a lost ear or nose. I know they have been working of organs as well.

Basically anything other than what they are selling it as, because if its a choice between goop and Thomson's Steak House and Hot Wing Emporium, well.
