Human Meat

Animal Liberation Victoria (Australia) organized a special show to protect animals. This veggie organization packed its activists into plastic boxes complete with price tags.

Industrial production of human meat? 785 Australian dollars a carcass that is not even skinned and disemboweled? I don’t think this is a good marketing idea.

First, it takes humans far too long to gain grow comparing to broilers (42 days) or pigs (185 days). Second, the ratio of fodder conversion is totally unacceptable. For instance, broilers for every 2.4 units of fodder gain 1 unit of weight. Although theoretically it is possible to breed some special hybrids of humans with good fodder conversion but it takes too much time. That brings us to the problem of genetics and unsatisfactory level of variety between humans. The differences in human body constitution are so broad that it makes carcass calibration simply impossible. Then, breeding of humans is fantastically expensive. We need huge sheltered farms. We are talking here not only about fattening and finishing areas, but also about separate grounds for a parental herd, for cubs and a special department for stud-humans. We also need a decent feed mill but I cannot even imagine what bills for mixed fodder would be.

To put it short – prime costs for human meat even in live weight will be so enormous that even Bill Gates wouldn’t be able to afford a human steak for his birthday.
