Tara - i think one of the keys to the farming is that they harvest the eggs and are able to get orders of magnitude higher hatch and survival rates.

Hi Tara,
Do you really think Slig will taste as good as your KC Strip?

Thanks, Rage. I recently took up surfing, so I thought it was appropriate.

“Tara - I read recently about a new ocean fish-farming technique off the HI coast - raising tuna. Great for sashimi and perhaps sustainable.”

Now, that would be something else! But I kind it hard to believe that we could ever farm tuna to a degree where we wouldn’t have to feel any guilt eating it. A few months ago I took a class I’m TA-ing to the fish market, and there were some 400 lb tuna for sale! I don’t think we can fence off enough ocean to farm enough 400 lb tuna to satisfy Japan’s (and to a much lesser degree, our) appetites.

“No thanks! I’m carnivorous; I want genuine dead cow for dinner, not tofuburger, not texturized soy product, not soylent green. I want a steak rare enough to bleed and bawl when I cut it, and provide my minimum daily requirement of cholesterol and sodium. Meat!”

Jed, I actually feel the same way–I loved (and still love, sigh) my medium rare kc strips with all the juices pooling at the bottom, YUM! But hey, if we can get our steaks from a meat-vat and they still taste good, everyone wins, right?

They were claiming the fish was undetectable for Hg. Ironically some of the fed is land-based - chicken by-products. That way it does not deplete the biosphere; it also might help protect from Hg bioacccumulation.

When I lived in LA I ate sashimi weekly; the ‘grandmother’ across the street bought it for me from the local fish-monger. I watched her once - scared me It seemed like she really let the guy know what’s what and that she expected the best! (even though I couldn’t understand a word she said)

Ben, I was wondering: I like tuna, and I would really like sustainable, mercury-free tuna even better. How much contamination are we looking at off the HI coast, roughly speaking?

I’d eat test tube meat if it tasted good, then wouldn’t have to go to Texas Roadhouse during my visits home and get hassled about ordering their chicken.

Maybe they can grow test-tube tuna…that stuff is may favorite sushi ever, and yet I stay away from it since it’s really not sustainable. I cheat though. Eat it once a week because it’s just so damn tasty.

Oh yeah, petakillsanimals.com.

This isn’t news - McDonalds has been serving artificial meat in their hamburgers for years.

I bet if PETA put that money towards actually finding homes for the dogs and other animals they “rescue” they wouldn’t have to euthanize the 90% plus they do.

Of course the media won’t tell you about all the animals PETA “rescues” then euthanizes.

Wow. And you could grow ‘any’ meat. We may hear that line in real life:

I also don’t like the idea of hormones injected into cows to create more milk. And we wonder why there are increases in diseases in children.
