What is meat? (video)

INTRO: Beyond “burgers.” Impossible “meat.” A huge meatball (supposedly) made from wooly mammoth DNA. Chemistry is changing how we think about meat, and as technology advances, things are only going to get more confusing...

Here in the UK we seem have the same sort of core value thing about eating meat as Americans have about guns and Trump. I must admit until the age of about 30 I thought Vegans were from another world - for which I blame early exposure to Dan Dare and the Eagle comic.

For centuries we fought the French over whether it was better to eat cows or horses - they even call us Le Roast Bif.

Deep down we know that giving up meat will inevitably lead to transvestitism and embracing our European neighbours as equals.

He's been a vegetable since the car accident. No, he's a vegetarian - he was a vegetarian before the accident and he's still one now.

Many just don't see the point of selling 'meat' but without any actual meat in it - same with decaff coffee - why would anyone even want to do that?

It's an uphill struggle.
