Incredible. If they get this stuff working (and no reason they shouldn't) the impact of this will be massive.

I saw a thing about this on a show on Discovery Science a while back.  People were calling it shmeat, a combination of shi...er poop and meat.  It could be of tremendous impact, but yowza.  The "finished" product looked like a gelatinous blob of meat like substance.  Pretty nasty.

Sure. All the Proles and Outer party members will eat Stem Cell Meat made by MiniPlenty and all the Inner party members will eat real beef, fish, pork etc...
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
