Makes me think if you can take maggots and make it look like steak would people eat it knowing what it used to be... it's like that video on YouTube of kids watching a guy blend random chicken parts and asking if they'd eat it, then he turns it into a chicken nugget and asks again, all the kids raise their hands. It's the Snowpiercer food bar

That "guy" on Youtube is Jamie Oliver, a world class chef who made a documentary on processed food in American diets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKwL5G5HbGA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKwL5G5HbGA Some people find him a bit too preachy or wears his heart on his sleeve. However his battles for healthier food in schools is commendable.

It depends on the person's disgust response. There was a study in the 90s wherein the authors sterilized a cockroach and dipped it in some juice. Despite knowing the juice was perfectly safe rationally, most people would refuse to drink it. I find myself in that camp. People also rejected fudge shaped like dog feces or soup stirred with a brand-new flyswatter.

  > People also rejected fudge shaped like dog feces Have you ever seen the popular Halloween party food "Cat Litter Box Cookies"? Here's some examples: https://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/302/Litterbox_Cookies40718.shtml https://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/302/Litterbox_Cookies... https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/15195/cat-poop-cookies-ii/ https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/15195/cat-poop-cookies-ii/ In my experience, people don't mind eating them. We served them at a Humane Society event once.

I think "chicken" nuggets are a better form factor. We already know that most of them are made of meat scraps, and if they're tasty and look "normal" then who's to know ;-) I'm hoping that cultivated meat can make itself a viable commercial product. And then there's Air Protein, which should be acceptable to all: https://www.airprotein.com/ https://www.airprotein.com/
