Vegans and vegetarians alike: what do you think of in vitro/cultured meat?
You can’t get it at your standard Wal-Mart, but I mean, the whole concept of it….
How do you feel about it?
If you aren’t familiar with it:

Personally, I’m always a bit skeptical about frankenfood (get out GMO issues). However, if was somehow completely safe (generations where nothing bad happened to the people who ate it) and everything, from a moral and environment standpoint, I’d rather we’d do that than industrial farming. It’s environmentally friendly, more sustainable for the world, and friendlier to the animals.
That being said, I would think most veg*ns would continue to not eat meat. After years of not eating it, most veg*ns aren’t sitting around pining for meat anymore. Additionally, your digestive system gets used to not eating meat, and eating a bunch after not eating any can cause stomach aches and whatnot.
Just my two cents.

McDonald’s Series 1 Captain Crook Action Figure $15.99 Cast a wider net with this villain from McDonaldland! Captain Crook stands about 6-inches tall and is made of plastic. The action figure comes packaged in a colorful window box for easy display. Unlike the Hamburglar, this villain spent his time trying to steal Filet-O-Fish sandwiches from citizens of McDonaldland while avoiding being caught by Big Mac, the Chief of police of McDonaldland. As part of the nautical theme of the character, Captain Crook used ships and waterways as means to escape being captured. In his final appearances, he was renamed simply “The Captain” and his character design made less sinister. The character was dropped during the streamlining of the characters in the ’80s.

Printed on acid-free archival paper. 225-piece, hand-numbered edition. Celebrate the 70th anniversary of Walt Disney’s 1st animated movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, with the limited edition “Story Sketch Triptych” based on original production art used in the making of the film. This beautiful giclée on paper measures 20-inches tall x 13-inches wide, and is limited to just 225 pieces. It’s hand numbered and includes certificate of authenticity. A triptych (pronounced “trip-tick”) is a work of art (usually a panel painting) which is divided into 3 sections, or 3 carved panels which are hinged together and folded. The middle panel is the larger one and is flanked by 2 smaller but related works. While the root of the word is the ancient Greek “triptychos,” the word arose into the medieval period from the name for an ancient Roman writing tablet that had 2 hinged panels flanking a central one. Giclée (pronounced “zhee-clay”) is an invented name for the process of making fine-art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word was coined to distinguish commonly known industrial “Iris proofs” from the fine-art prints artists were producing on the same printers. The name has since come to mean any high-quality, ink-jet print, and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such. In the past few years, the word (as a fine-art term) has come to be associated with prints using fade-resistant “archival” inks and the inkjet printers that use them. A wide variety of substrates are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolor paper, cotton canvas, or artist textured vinyl.
