I suspect that getting it approved by the FDA will take a while.Vegetarians can soon stop being vegetarians with good conscience. Meat grown artificially will soon come to your supermarket.
I think it might run into some overheating problems too.Nope. There simply isn't the raw material to play about with. You're suggesting the biological equivalent of re-configuring a ZX81 and expecting to get a "quad core pentium". It really can't be done. You could take a ZX81 box and rip out the insides and put a high power processing unit inside it, but then it's not a ZX81 any more.
I feel perfectly virtuous thank you.Also, meat eaters can get to feel all virtuous.

In my experience carnivores are a helluva lot more self-righteous than veggies. You never hear such a fuss as when you tell a dedicated meat eater you don't bother with the meat yourself. I look forward to the day when it's not a big deal.
I admire your certainty, but there is much to be learned about mice minds yet. In due course I expect that we will be able to emulate mice minds in artificial form, but this will require the resources of vastly powered processing systems and extremely subtle algorithms. No doubt it will take a long time and a lot of resources to achieve this emulation, but it is just a stepping stone on the way to emulating human minds, which will take a lot longer. I expect that when we do finally, fully understand mice minds (if we ever do) we will acquire a much deeper respect for their level of consciousness than most people now afford them.Coal said:Nope.

Because you keep demanding an explanation for why we didn't order the steak..So why do veggies keep doing it? Just eat your delicious synthbacon-flavoured Athlete’s Foot fungus - straight from Auntie Monsanto’s Country Kitchen! - and let us enjoy a harangue-free steak.

Ghosts come in handy, eh?I have a supernatural to identify and select the best thing on the menu, even when I 'can't' eat it.
You'll take my meat from my cold dead hands (fnarr).

One possible way that mice minds could be augmented is by linking them to larger, external processing substrates. Effectively this would make them 'dimensionally transcendental', especially if you consider that cyberspace is not constrained to any easily-defined dimensional metrics.So you're ruling the possibility of a mouse's brain being dimensionally transcendental?

Meat is what they eat, with other foods like vegetables only grudgingly added.
I know! Why would you, etc.There's a brand of meat-substitutes (Quorn?) which advertises with the line 'When you don't feel like eating meat' or some such.
Makes me think, what the actual? Meat-eaters NEVER 'don't feel like eating meat'.

They believe blandness is a good thing? Like a self-punishment.I'm not a vegetarian any more, but I was for most of my childhood/early teens. I always absolutely hated 'meat substitutes' - there's plenty of perfectly delicious things you can make which aren't trying (and inevitably failing) to be meat.
I have an issue with vegetarian Chinese food, which is basically for buddhists. Because of this, it has a long tradition and has evolved into very much a distinct style. Because of religious rules, not only meat is proscribed but also other things that might take one's mind off religion, such as garlic and chilli peppers. I had a terrible time when my vegetarian parents visited me and we had to eat all this stuff all the time.
If you don't care then why did you go on to lecture me about it?If you want to be a vegan, vegetarian, piscatarian or whatever, be my guest, I really don't care one way or the other. Re
