If God had not wanted man to eat animals, he would made them out of sometrhing other than meat.

If God had wanted to you to go online , he would put in your head a wi-fi.

Good idea. However, I have always wondered why vegetarians even bother with "simulating" meat. It's really bizarre and half-ass in my opinion. Why not simply just go veggie and stick with it. Isn't it the texture of meat that changed some vegetarians? If it's health, that's one thing (but often, it's not).

Any how, there was a student designer who created ceramic "bones". The bones allowed for adhesion of meat-like products and could be cooked in the oven. Thus, you could eat veggies "off the bone". However, I like your idea in that you could devour the whole thing, crunchiness and all.

yes, was that the idea, eat everything...The starting point was the fact that there is, now a lot of products meat-like (hamburger, meatball etc) made of soy or seitan..so next thing could be to add bones.

Fake bones!?!?!

That's what I would want in a processed food product. . .something I can't eat and have to throw away when I'm done with it. That and it would add shipping weight without adding additional food.

Take a quick look in the meat counter next time you are in the store. The bone-out steak is 15 to 20 cents a pound more expensive than bone-in.

I like it. Food is about pleasure so it would fill a niche even if it isn't "practical"

I saw some plants recently which eat meat (Pitcher plant and Venus Flytrap) so how do vegetarians explain that one? It will soon be possible to build plants which have the genes to produce animal muscle tissue as 'fruit' made from lamb, beef and pork.As no animal will have been harmed to produce this type of food, will vegetarian and religious objection still apply to meat produced in this way? (aside from people complaining about it being GM)
