Elvin for this shouldn't be a thing.

Want to give credit to Cardi. Cardi Glisper. Cardi Glisper, who is a producer. He produces

Maggie Dawn's show from two to four o'clock. He found this. We wanted to share it with you.

Headline reads from wide open country. Scientists are 3D printing stake.

And I have to question whether science has gone too far. Cardi also found it on Instagram.

3D printed stakes and fish fillets. Are already selling in several different countries,

making its way to the US after the FDA and USDA approved. These high tech plant-based

creations are designed to mimic real meat. In Germany, they're already selling in supermarkets

for the same as a traditional cut of meat. And I think that's part of what the problem is,

is the visual. Yes, it looks not good. It looks like I don't even know how to describe it.

Well, here's the thing is I don't have to describe it. In the show notes today, there will be both

the story and the Instagram video that Cardi sent us. It looks like you ever see like a sweater.

And like, let's say, let's say your grandma made you a sweater and she decided, well, you know,

Jane loves steak. So I'm going to I'm going to knit a little steak to put on there.

That's what it looks like. It makes it looks like meat made of yarn. It sort of does.

Yeah, using soy, soy, pea protein, chickpeas, beetroot, nutritional yeast, and coconut fat,

they are aiming to redefine steak using a 3D printer. They squirt out lines of the reconstituted

product. And that's just that in they squirt out lines of the reconstituted product and compress it

into a steak shape. They claim the 3D printed steak tastes, smells and feels just like the real

deal. According to this author from wide open country, he says to me, it looks like something out

of a John Carpenter film. I did use the word horrifying in the show notes today. It does, it does

not look appealing. But Israel, Israel based startup redefine meat is sticking with it. They plan

to become the biggest meat in quotation marks distributor in the world. Apparently there is a big

there's a big market for this. Like the picture of the product on the the wide open country

article we're using, it just looks like a pile of string of like silly string. Yeah, like silly

string. Beige wet string. And then apparently they they use dies right to make it look meat like

but Marco Pierre White is a celebrity chef and says, quote, I took three of my meat eating friends

last week. We all ordered plant-based steaks. We were all completely blown away. I highly, highly

recommend getting down there and experiencing this for yourself. Okay, so that's where I have a

bit of a problem is that you, I understand it's not meat, but don't call it plant-based either.

Call us because to me, plant-based is like I go to the store, I buy something's plant-based. It is

processed, but it's shaped to look different. This is 3D printed food. It should not be

called plant-based. It should just be called printed food. Yeah. And by the way, this celebrity chef,

he also should have added and by the way, the check clear from the people who are paying me to say

this. That might be a little bit. Well, you can check it out yourself. It's in the show notes.

Yep, you're welcome. I kind of I kind of feel the same way about this though as I do about eating

actual meat. I don't want to know the process before it gets to my plate. Yeah, that's a whole

of a discussion. Right. And I've been a vegetarian vegan and meat eater and there's a lot to deal with.

A lot of conflicts. A lot of conflicts. Yes. Indeed. But this is just one more. If you said,

hey, it's printed on a 3D printer. I'm like, can we close you down for health code violations?

Take a look for yourself. Let us know what you think. Let us know if this will make it into the

tiz bat best of. That wraps up today's edition of this shouldn't be a thing. Coming up on Monday,

very much looking forward to talking to Heather Du Bois, Boranam. I just like saying her name.

It's very fancy song. We're going to talk about education. Yes. Yes.

Peach Schwabba will be here at 1106. Really nice article about him in the cap time.
