.. parts fused to produce what appears to be a whole fillet.. it looks like real meat. It is the dishonesty in it that makes us think that it is not okay.

How will they be able to trace contaminants with this product?
It is a coagulated protein, thrombin, from cow and pig blood.

This is wrong on so many levels. As soon as my chickens and rabbits raising get underway I am not buying store bought meat, . Meat off of farmers are one thing but meat from a factory is anouther. I'm going to be raising muscovy next year for meat , we don't eat that much but we still eat some meat.

What the (*#&$??? That is very scary! Now that Sweden has okay'd this practice.....how soon other countries will follow??? Just what are these people THINKING????

My thought..........JUST LEAVE MY FOOD ALONE!!!

Composite meat huh? Well, as for me I just happen to have another litter of rabbits due tomorrow. So I think I will just pass. But seriously it will be a cheap form of meat that will be laden with unknowns and fed to the people who can't afford to pay high prices for the real stuff. Real meat(as in regular store bought meat) will become a luxury that lower class people will not be able to afford. It will be everywhere before you know it.

Can you tell I don't trust our government to keep us safe?
