Genetically engineered cows with little or no brain function could surely be processed into "vegetable" burgers. Need I say more?

       Meat animals have had most of their intelligence bred out of them already.

       You have obviously missed one of the great inventions of this century, Animal 57, created by Kentucky Fried Chicken as an alternative to having to ship large amounts of dead animal parts all over the country. No more will the teamsters control the fast food industry! With Animal 57, you just slice a hunk off, put it in your sandwich, and it grows back!

       Fat cows with little or no brain power? When was the last time you visited Congress? Not a bad idea; we farm them out to Washington, then turn them into balogna - not too far a reach. A whole new take on the term "pork-barrel".

       How about "vat-growing" just one mother of a cow?

       I think I'd prefer to know that Jesse Helms will one day be processed into a peaceful loaf of mystery meat. (Hawaii Boy, you're a genius.)

       Aziraphale, that sounds a lot like the giant chicken heart from the Frederik Pohl novel "The Space Merchants," referred to as Chicken Little. Slicing pieces off of it was a high-risk job due to the rapid growth rate.

       Yeast, plantkon, algae and bacteria are all vat-grown 'animals' commonly used as commercial food additives. It is my understanding that there is an Italian brand of low-fat ice cream made from a base of vat-grown bacteria which are killed by high-temperature steam and processed into a flavourless, fat-free, high-protein paste (essentially, pus). Bon Apetit.

       Perhaps use just a local anasthetic and lop a bit off when you feel peckish? Alternatively GM velcro at specific levels through the muscle and rip it off.
