At least they pull the digestive tract out of shrimp and prawns.
These are just shit delivery systems.
@PNS 8.5 Million! That could almost buy a condo in Vancouver.
What's the chemical that accumulates if you eat too much rabbit?
@IceCubeSoup @djsumdog @PNS "rabbit starvation" is only if you eat *exclusively* wild-caught rabbit, as they're extremely lean.
Even pasture-raised (as opposed to exclusively caged) rabbit has enough fat to not cause "rabbit starvation".
I don't eat anything that's looking at me. Gross... and creepy.
That's where all the protein is.
@PNS
It works as a novelty food, but not as a meat replacement.
It's also a matter of consumer trust: If you look at how small scale meat farming (e.g. chicken) works and actual factory farming looks, and extrapolate that to a species that can take much worse conditions and is much smaller to prevent the proper removal of the guts, this is an enormous health problem in the making.

I thought about posting this when I read it in the paper this morning.
When they built the thing they touted how automated the whole process was, and a sizable portion of the public funds received was earmarked for AI managerial systems. It's also designed (and permitted) to expand to more than double the current capacity, but instead is going from 24/7 to a few shifts a week.
I still get the feeling from the reporting that they're going to cram this shit down our throats anyway.
You just can't fix stupid!
