Artificial Meat: PETA offers $1 Million Reward – jackasses

I am all for figuring out a way to just grow some meat in a vat, since after all, the resulting food items could get fantastic. Such as the filet mignon crazy-straw, or a turkey mug to hold my bacon fat milkshake, or chicken breast shaped like unborn human fetuses. But come on. $1 million? That isn’t even going to cover the electric bill, unless of course the scientists can figure out how to harness lightning like in Frankenstein.
$1 million is the offer a crazy person makes to someone to sleep with their wife, not what it takes to figure out how to grow meat in a jar. I know, why doesn’t Greenpeace jump on the bandwagon of shitty rewards and offer $1 million to the scientist who can figure out how to make whales harpoon proof. Or, maybe the Sierra Club (i like the Sierra Club actually) could offer a $1 million reward to the scientist who figures out how to make a car that uses water for fuel, and can drive better on grass than asphalt.
These hard-line topic-nazi organizations like Peta and Greenpeace need to learn that ignorance of reality, does not mean the reality does not exist. I am all for your personal belief that process which results in eating meat is cruel, and I even support you in trying to promote that opinion and get things changed. However, when you start being condescending and dumb, it makes you lose your vague supporters, like me, who feel that you have lost touch with reality. Without vague supporters, you only have your solid base, which is a bunch of zealots who freak out when they see milk being put into coffee and no one likes or takes seriously. But, to blatantly prove your disdain for the majority of humans with comments like saying that “consumers who can’t get enough cholesterol and saturated fat in their diet could indulge their cravings without harming animals.” makes you a dick. If you don’t have an issue with people eating meat, just an issue with the process to acquire that meat, then you should focus on the task at hand which is to change the process. Petty digs at us meat eaters does nothing at all for your credibility.
So here is my thought. Whoever figures out how to grow meat in a jar is going to become so retardedly rich that to accept the $1 million would actually be more hassle than its worth probably. I beg you, accept that money, then publicly gift it to the cattlemans association, or some leather group, you get the point. And publicize the fact that you are using PETA money to fund that association. I was going to suggest giving it to a cock fighting association, but that IS cruel, and pointless, so nevermind.
Oh and as a side note, I don’t harm animals for my food. Someone else does that for me.
