    If demand warranted I think we could safely say the increase head would be more than 10x, more like 1000x.

    I am in the Middle of East Bumblefuck Texas about once a year. My family has a lease in that part of the world. /Western New Yorker AKA Bumblefuck NY. //Not the City you hick :)

    Which only proves that people are susceptible to suggestion, we already knew that.

    People would have also picked that banana had they told them it was some special variety. What you believe about something can actually influence how you experience it.

    You are a Doofus, if you think the goal of organic farming is better tasting food. The goal is the use of these methods themselves. I am not suggesting they are good only that you are being conned and did not even notice.

    How fat are these kids?
    1lb of meat is enough for burgers for 4 people. Add in buns, the typical veggie toppings and a nice side salad and you have a fairly healthy and filling dinner.

    Are you really telling me the extra $2 on the price of dinner is not affordable by most folks?

    I never suggested such a thing. Nice strawman to setup and knock down.

    People eat too much of everything. Too much sugar, too much meat, too much grain, too much everything.

    If proper labeling existed I would agree.

    The issue is these animals will be sold as normal meat. No mention will be made to the consumer of the extra antibiotics that had to be used to deal with this diet, if that was the case. The ranchers will not be held responsible if this leads to more antibiotic resistant strains.

    Once again a big problem with supposed Free Markets is exposed, the lowest information actor is often taken advantage of.

    False, they are good for cheap calories. Like everything else moderation is the key. For some humans these cheap calories are all they can afford.

    This beef is not going to people who are starving. Here in the USA the opposite is our problem, people are eating too much.

    How is eating less meat and having what little you do eat be grassfed/organic hurting the environment?

    How is eating local grassfed beef hurting the environment?

    I don't eat nearly that much beef but I could do it and still just stick to grass fed. The local grocery store has it for about $5/lb which seems pretty affordable for many if not most folks. Assuming you don't eat nothing but beef for dinner.

    Because there is no practical way to get this food to those people.

    If you could get it there without it rotting or being stolen by warlords and governments maybe it would help.

    You would also have to buy it at the same or higher prices than the ranchers pay.

    That might be hard to do, would have to blind fold the taster. The small farm eggs I have seen had bright orange yolks and being so fresh the yolk stood up and the white stayed very close to it when the egg was fried.

    The problem is they want to do an experiment and sell the result. Normally animals used for experiments would be destroyed not sold as food.

    That will happen the instant a suitable replacement is found and not a moment sooner. I have high hopes for the beyondmeat folks, but we shall see.

    Putting the power generation in the car is what ICE does. Do you mean like a chevy volt?

    That is a major compromise as you are still burning gas, which is counter to the whole point.

    Not at all. Many commercial products fail going from prototype to product.

    Tooling is expensive and fraught with possible problems. Then their comes the actual stamping/molding/fabrication which is another huge stumbling block. Before either of those begin you will want to select materials and such, which determine not only the properties of your product but how complex it will be to make. Can that plastic you want really be blown into that shape or will it have to be milled? Stuff like that. There are months to years of work going from prototype to production.

    Then kickstarter might not be the place for that. If you honestly cannot even produce a crude prototype then you are likely looking at something that will cost millions or more to make.
