Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 This one made me laugh out loud. So much effort to create something any vegetarian can tell you there's no need for. What's next, artificial air to cure bad breath?

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 oh geez. This is EXACTLY like a great old sci-fi book from the 50's called " The Space Merchants. " In it most people were vegetarian not buy choice--but because all the land on the entire earth had been developed and there was no room for raising livestock. Only the very rich ate real meat. People ate soy-based " Tur-kee " on thanksgiving and ate " Chicken Little. " " Chicken Little " was a giant slab of lab-grown chicken muscle. Precious jewelry was no longer made from rare metals and gemstones--it was made from trees since wood was scarce. " Oh I love your engagement ring! Is that REAL pine?
