Well, it would be good if this could replace a lot of the current meat-farming industry, commercial vat-grown meat would help the environment and might shut up a lot of the god-damned animal activists. (That reminds me, I wonder if those lunatics at PeTA will pay out on this like they keep promising?) Not all animal farming, though. Because farmers do bitch like you say. The other thing is, some of them would... kinda have a point. There are cattle ranches/stations out there in semi-arid terrain like the Sahel in Africa and the Tanami Desert in Australia where the land is literally unsuited to any other use, well at least without millions of dollars in irrigation. Telling them to grow vegetables in the middle of a SMASHINGLY desert is not going to go down well

What's to stop them from letting them grow the meats for themselves? I'm pretty sure there'll be an elite market for 'real grown' meat for the rich gits.

I mostly meant in places like Britland that used to be forest anyway, Matt. I kinda assumed countries which are still getting to their feet wouldn't be interested in expensive, expertise-heavy lab equipment just yet.

Wow. Why aren't farmers extinct yet? We're a persistent lot. In any case, vegetarianism makes no sense. If you care about the life of the animal, then eat meat, because if nobody ate meat the animals wouldn't be reared in the first place. That said, this looks pretty funky.

But if there were no pork, there'd be no crackling!
This would be a terrible world.

There's always vegetarian bacon. Looks nothing like the real thing but tastes just like it (i've had it in the past).

Ever tried vegetarian sausages? They taste like stuffing.. Not that stuffing is bad, but they lack the sausage-y awesomeness. EDIT: As well as any form of nutritional value at all..

Vegetarian bacon. What mockery is this? I shall have none of it, sir, none of it.
