What if human meat is grown? Could we overcome our taboo against cannibalism?"

  Why calamari and not just point out that sausage casings are sometimes made with icky animal parts?

  If somebody wants to avoid ick ick ick at finding out how their food is made, they should become a vegetarian. Then when they find out where milk comes from, they'll become a vegan.

  Facepalm inducing stupidity from people who have never seen a farm in their life.
