A mammoth snack



Woolly mammoth meatball - would you eat one?

The mammoth snack was produced by an Australian company which aims to "transition a few billion meat eaters away from eating (conventional) animal protein" to eating cultivated meat instead.

The mammoth snack was produced by an Australian company called Vow which is aiming to uses cells from unconventional species to create new kinds of meat.

Vow's project doesn't involve the slaughter of animals and highlights the link between large-scale livestock production and the destruction of wildlife and the climate crisis.


What was the problem with ultra-processed food? Presumably it can be virtuous or evil depending on its politics.

Eating the meat of species that died out long ago? I think we might have an Extinction Rebellion.

I'd rather have good old farm grown meat than Jurassic Pork

Sam - ha ha - many people would certainly find something to moan about.

Bucko - if the name "Jurassic Pork" catches on they probably won't do very well.
