Maybe somebody should work on genetically engineering some kind of tissue
culture where they could grow slabs beef or pork in a vessel of some kind,
a la hydroponics. That way you could feed everybody without murdering any
animals, right? :-)

Or splice a beef gene into corn and get steak on the cob. %-}

And splice a soy or castor or corn oil[0] gene into some blue-green algae
and make solar hydroponic herbideisel!

[0] or hempseed - but heck, the way hemp grows, you could probably just
harvest it. And if there were sane people in the government, you could
sell the rest of the plant to subsidize saving the environment. Everybody
wins! ;-)
