Jun 2 at 23:06 comment added John @o.m. people ussually decide against eating meat due ot the suffering of the animal, vat meat has no brain so a mushroom can suffer just as much as a vat meat, it might even be more able to suffer.
Jun 2 at 17:00 comment added o.m. @John, artificial mushrooms rather than artificial meat because they decided to stop eating meat animals, so one more step away from meat makes sense if it is possible. And they're high-tech ...
May 31 at 1:17 comment added John What advantage do mushrooms have over vat meat? They would not be any more efficent. You would stil need to raise a diffrent crop to feed them.
May 29 at 13:42 comment added John O @o.m. If they cheat and eat chicken, can we count it as a vegetable too?
May 28 at 18:34 comment added o.m. @JBH, I wouldn't eat minced meat from a burger chain. Better plants, as long as it isn't supposedly-fresh sliced tomatoes.
May 28 at 17:08 comment added JBH This was part of Asimov's Foundation stories: the conversion of nearly all food to yeasts and the specialization of some in the flavoring of said yeast. Personally, I couldn't bring myself to try Burger King's "Impossible Whopper" plant-based patty. Call me old-fashioned.
May 28 at 14:44 comment added o.m. @JohnO, vegetarians mostly eat mushrooms. So for many practical reasons, I'd count it as a vegetable.
May 28 at 14:40 comment added John O Fungus is actually more closely related to animals, than to plants. Chitin in cell walls, etc.
