At a time when society is truly waking up to the harms of artificial foods and iffy food manufacturing techniques and embracing a healthier lifestyle as a result, the biotech industry has its eye on creating artificial meat. It sounds backwards, but it’s true: the industry is developing pseudo foods, making them sound like viable options that people should flock to in the near future.
Professor Mark Post of Maastricht University in the Netherlands is the man responsible for creating a lab-grown hamburger using stem cells from cows. In a video housed on BBC.com, he takes viewers through a brief tour of the lab where such substances are created, showing an elaborate shelving system where billions of cow stem cells are housed while explaining that such a process is an “inevitable” way of life.
In that same video, he explains that small muscle tissues are created from the cow’s stem cells. These muscle tissues are ultimately assembled together, piece by small piece, to create an entire hamburger.
“People might think this is a sort of crazy way to produce meat,” Post says in the video, “but it’s inevitable because the way we produce meat right now through livestock is not sustainable, it’s not good for the environment, it’s not good for animals and we actually are not going to produce enough to meet the world’s demands. So this is one of the alternatives…“
“I am confident that we will have it on the market in five years,” he said. He explained its appearance in supermarkets is heavily contingent on increases in its demand and more affordable pricing; after all, a prototype of the burger made and cooked in London two years ago cost approximately $332,000 (£215,000). Furthermore, its taste is in need of improvement, which is something that the researchers are also working on. During the prototype tasting, some food experts noted that it was “close to meat, but not that juicy,” although another individual said it tasted real.

To Be Forewarned Is To Be Forearmed For Such A Time As This!
April 21, 2001
TO BE FOREWARNED IS TO BE FOREARMED FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS! Beware when you eat soulless meat; you are eating meat that I did not create. Your bodies were not meant to be so defiled. When you see sickness and diseases that are new and your physicians can’t heal, I will say, “Physician heal yourself,” and if that physician does not stand up and say, “No, this is against the laws of creation” then I shall turn creation against itself. You have been warned!

You think when you eat cloned meats, you are nourishing your body, but how can that be when there was no life in that meat? You eat damnation to your own bodies.

I, YAHUVEH Say, Beware Of The Illusion!
March 31, 2006
Pray over that food for you’ll not know if it’s cloned or not. Remember, satan wants to counterfeit everything I created. He does it through the name of science. But pray over that food, believe ME, believe that I will protect you. Believe I will put life in a meat that will bless your body and not curse it. For I tell you, cloned meat is a counterfeit sent from Hell, to say, “I can create just as he can create, eat my food its better, I can create a chicken that will not have the bird flu. ” Why, you foolish ones, you scientists , do you think I do not know that it is you that manufactured that disease? It did not come from ME. When they say, “You must be vaccinated, Oh, there’s a deadly, deadly virus here. We must round you up and put you in a stadium if you will not obey. We cannot have you contaminate the rest.”
