I did that as a child, as well. but my nails were too weak for it to be effective. I suspect your friend used additional reinforcing resin/nail polish by the gross. I wonder how she took care of her hygiene that way? ugh. :eew:

If by some miracle of civilization the animals can be released from their servitude, there will have to be some humane means of insuring their survival and comfort for the remainder of their days but also insuring they don't reproduce beyond a nominal quantity consistent with survival of their species.

and B9 I apologize for wet-blanketing you but I can be too literal for my own good sometimes. :nerdy:
and Cyber, I agree that I would steer clear of such an angry specimen.

I think currently the expense plus lack of taste are preventing petri dish steak being trialled...give it time :wink:

more complicated than that, unfortunately. there is an interplay between the various juices and fibers in the meat [at least the kind that came from an actual living creature in their prime] and various kinds of heat, complex reactions occur that seems easy enough to result in a delicious poetry on a platter, but a lot can go wrong when you take out from the flavor equation the "actual living creature in their prime" part. that is where the flavor scientists come in, they know ways of compensating for it being test-tube-sourced, they will know what to add and what to subtract to get it tasting right. a proper steak doesn't need BBQ or whatnot, it will taste delicious with just some judiciously applied salt and pepper during the cooking process, especially if it is rubbed in and left to steep a while before cooking. I tried a pressure-cooked steak once, it was divine, melted in my mouth and the flavors were trapped in the meat.

Not to mention fats...wagyu beef is the most expensive on the market and it's marbled meaning the fay component is high making the taste more juicy

Sounds like Australia's vegans are imitating the tactics of America's antiabortion activists.

If you bomb an abortion clinic, or bomb a steak restaurant, then THAT would be terrorism.

Getting in customer's faces like that isn't exactly really terrorism, but it is obnoxious. And its also counter productive to the cause (makes you look crazy, and alienates sympathy for you).

Not terrorism but highly annoying..That's not the way to go about convincing people not to eat meat.Its more likely to make them oppositional and they will just order an extra burger to go.


Overly dramatic protesting often defeats its purpose and has the opposite effect.

I can't help but think of this as an analogy of the vegans being anti-trumps and the diners being conservatives.

Veganism seems to be all over BBC news in the UK this morning, maybe prompted by this story. I was a vegetarian (not vegan) for thirty years, but I was never bothered by whatever anyone else wanted to eat.
I don't think it's anything to do with what you eat, or with human rights for cows or whatever. Through thousands of years of human civilisation we always seem to get these groups who proclaim:
We have the moral highground...
What you are doing is wrong...
We are going to stop you doing it...
Usually something to do with religion or sex, but I suppose we're diversifying now... humans are such an inventive bunch.
Anyway, for the record, last night I ate a Beef Ghoulash... loads of lumps of meat with a smoked paprika sauce... even had a few veggies with it.

wouldn't it be ironic if they started duking it out with the customers.


I know some people who would almost surely start throwing punches at anyone yelling in their face.

And others that would likely be yelling back so harshly and being unbelievably intimidating that the protesters might start throwing punches.
