Israel printed a steak. Soy protein, methylcellulose and a premix blend, layered by a machine to fake the marbling a real cut gets on its own. It's on shelves in the Northeast now, and the box calls it “premium.”

A 250 gram "marbled steak" with 26 grams of protein. A real ribeye that size carries more than double, and it got there eating grass in the sun. Methylcellulose, for the record, is the same binder in fiber laxatives and wallpaper paste.

A cow belongs to whoever raised it. A cartridge of premix has a patent and a licensing fee, and the rancher gets written out of the story.

We already learned you can't print money and call it value. Dinner works the same way. Find a rancher and keep paying for the real thing while it's still easy to get. *Emphasis in the picture is mine*. You can’t make this sh*t up.
