that made me think about something: why do things always taste like cheap old chicken? why not the most expensive steak money can buy?

Nature is uncreative. Or alternatively, the prehistoric chicken is the common ancestor of about 90% of the animals we've tried to eat.

Clone a chicken, it will "taste just like chicken".

Sure, but we don't need more chickens. Grow chicken meat in a petri dish, how will that taste?

Science isn't the solution to everything, we just need to limit fornication!

Science can help limit fornication though. As can increased standards of living and a pension system/healthcare system/ whatnot

I thought the prehistoric chicken was a pterodactyl or something?

It would be easier to name all the animals we can't eat than the ones we can. We can eat pretty much any animal other than the highly toxic / posionous types. And the prehistoric chicken is the common ancestor to about 90% of those edible animals? Ya gotta explain that one...because to me, that's ridiculous.

I was thinking more in the lines of forced sterilisation Smiley.

I thought you guys were pretty good at picking up on sarcastic humor? I guess not as good as I thought.

It's just jokes, people.

Well, if we sidestep that pesky question of human rights neatly, I guess the question is if you want them for everybody or just for part of the population. In either case, I'm sure you could lead by example Wink

I can't speak for RTyp06, but I was trying to be glib and silly. Guess i failed Sad

Would you rather have your grandchildren fight over food because you were one of the lot that had too many?

Well, if we all get sterilised then I wont have any grandchildren. If we don't, then I'd love to know how you're going to determine who get it and who doesn't...

Oooops. Usually I can spot sarcasm in a glance..

Oh and I'd think petri dish meat could be grown and then cooked in the same container. Factories will be able to churn hamburgers out with dizzying speed onto conveyor belts that load boxcars destined for global ports. Then with advanced genetic tinkering of the meat cells,  they would have a shelf life lasting into the decades.

All this with no farms and methane gasses. No meat packing plants and butcheries. No slaughtering of innocent animals. No more rainforest removal for pennies on the lbs. / kilos of beef. And we all hold hands around the fire and live happily ever after...Wink

The only problem  is petri dishes incubation needs heat, to achieve wich there will be need for energy and therefore fuels, producing CO2 instead  of the methane. Though I have no idea as to how the amounts and effects of the two compare.

It could be the indirect solution to everything. Science makes us immortal, gives us robots to explore the universe, no need for more people. Sterilise everyone, population growth halts, fornicate till the end of time.

Problems solved! Cool

Clean, renewable, electricity handles the petri dish heating. Wind, solar, hdryo, hydro thermal. Even nuclear is clean and cheap (other than the half lives of spent fuel). Electricity of the future will have zero CO2 emissions.

See, science and technology have an answer for everything.

And as people commit suicide, die in accident or something else, population begins falling. In the end, our race vanishes from the world. Still, it does solve the Earths problems.
