				<div class="et_pb_row et_pb_row_4">
				<div class="et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_7  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child">

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>So the press is reporting on “<strong>Frankenburger</strong>” The worlds first test-tube burger. And how it could revolutionise the food industry, bring an end to world famines (<em>Although how many third world citizens can afford the $200,000 per burger cost I don’t know</em>) and even be eatable by animal lovers. Others are saying that no one would want to eat a bit of flesh created in a lab, Personally my views are “<em>If it looks like Bacon, and tastes like Bacon.. I’m eating it!</em>“.  But in all fairness I am a meat eater, and happily admit that I would be the first to eat the dead in an emergency (<em>You have to eat them fast before they go off, so eat the dead first, then emergency rations which last longer</em>)</p>
<p>Hang on, I went off topic there. Oh Animal Lovers.</p>
<p>Its the fact they are claiming Animal lovers will eat it, and that “<strong>so called</strong>” Animal Lovers interviewed on the news stated it would be better for animals. “<em>Err really?</em>” I think these “Animal lovers” must love animals as much as Vegetarians (<em>Especially the preachy ones</em>). Lets look at the facts.</p>
<p>Fact. Meat for food would be grown in a lab. So Farmers would not make money selling animals for food, so they would not pay for feeding them, or vets bills. Also since the farmer is now not making money they will need to use their land to grow crops or something. So what will happen to all those animals? killed? made extinct?</p>
<p>What use is a pig if you cant eat it? None dairy cattle? and so on. If we stop eating them, then they loose all value. Yes its not nice eating a poor animal, but we eat it after its had a nice lazy life. SO if the preachy Vegetarians had their way and we all stopped eating meat, think of the mass slaughter of animals that would take place. I’m telling you, vegetarians are anti-animals. They are pure evil!!!</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>​The world is a strange place, for example…</p>
<p>Our office building seems to have developed a mouse/rat infestation. which led onto the random subject tangent of <strong>zombie mice,</strong> which is in fact a logical topic progression for the people who work here.</p>
<p>Several steps along the topic later and the following information was discovered.</p>
<p>Scientists continue to get all their ideas from horror/sci-fi movies. But they must leave the theatre halfway through the movie because they never realize that this stuff is a <strong>bad idea</strong>.</p>
<p>Now Ellen Heber-Katz has created mice that can regenerate any organ except the brain. Remove a lung, it grows a new one. Pull out it’s heart, and a new one will show up. “We have experimented with amputating or damaging several different organs, such as the heart, toes, tail and ears, and just watched them regrow…”</p>
<p>The zombie mice can even infect other animals with the regeneration trait. “When we injected fetal liver cells taken from those animals into ordinary mice, they too gained the power of regeneration. We found this persisted even six months after the injection.”</p>
<p>Ellen Heber-Katz is a professor of immunology at the Wistar Institute, a biomedical research center in the US. She’s still researching exactly how the genes work and thinks that humans may be able to duplicate the regeneration trait.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, a scientist in a biomedical research center has created zombie mice that can make other animals into zombies, too. And now they want to see if people can be made into zombies, too.</p>
<p>Please, someone send these people a copy of ‘<em>Resident Evil</em>’ or ‘<em>Dawn of the Dead</em>’.</p></div>
