Meat substitutes have had a hard time making it to the dinner tables of Americans over the years, but the tech giants believe these newest products will pass the "tastes like chicken" test. Gates has met several times with Ethan Brown, whose product, Beyond Meat, is a mash-up of proteins from peas and plants."

Sorry, but to us carnivores, vegan means any substitution of meat for hippy-dippy, new age fairy food. The only thing you should substitute meat with is other meat; chicken or steak burritos for example.

Similar thing with wool sheep that are past it. They're edible if you cook them by the brick method: put a quarter of animal in a pot with a brick, water and a bay leaf. Boil.
When you can stick a fork in the brick the meat's nearly ready.
