This is without doubt the most obnoxious subject I've ever posted on SVs.....you have been warned..
Did anybody watch the Channel4 programme 'Greg Wallace: The British Miracle Meat' last night where it showed how a company is paying individuals to donate a piece of their skin so that it can be engineered into meat for human consumption.....
Those who are donating pieces of their skin are paid around £200 for their skin which many are using to pay for energy or general living costs.
Greg took a sample of the engineered meat to Michel Roux's Mayfair restaurant Le Gavroche for it to be taste tested and Michel was enthusiastic in its taste and how tender it was when cooked in the way that normal animal meat is cooked for human consumption.
I for one am disgusted that the authorities have allowed such a practice as it is now available on certain supermarket shelves.
I some how can't imagine anybody wanting a slice of me or for that matter a slice of anybody BUT if a public tasting is anything to go by the engineered human meat may become an acceptable item in certain restaurants under the disguise of 'normal meat'.......
