Real meat is definitely frowned upon in the Federation. Take the TNG episode "Lonely Among Us", where Riker rather curtly explains to the carnivorous Anticans "We no longer enslave animals for food purposes."

Meh, some how that escaped me - I might not have even seen that ep for all I know. If Riker meant by that statement since the cruch of the replicator it therefore became pase to raise livestock was what was intended I'm glad my interest in TNG waned.

On the other hand if he meant they now grow flesh like plants via some genetically engineered meat source - that would be very cool... but some how I doubt it.

I'll refrain expressing my disdain for the vegan ethic...

You know of Fish & Chips (or "fish suppers"* as they are known in Northern England) in the States? Cripes. Been Stateside a few times with lots of eating-out involved and didn't realise that. Cool.

It's my experience as a Canadian who has some proper Fish and Chip, that American Fish&Chips usually suck.

I generally don't like fish, but the fish in fish and chips is definitely better in Britain (and it's something I honestly haven't seen offered in the states, but I never looked for it, since it would be like going to London and ordering a Cheesesteak).

As for fries (British chips, but I'm trying to avoid confusion with British crisps), you can get decent fries depending on where you go, but I've never had them prepared the same way in America (cooked with the fish so they're really greasy and flavorful).

Still, even if you could get Fish and Chips in the states, why bother? It'll never be as good as the original.

I wonder what replicated fish and chips taste like?? It better be good, because I haven't found anything outside of England to taste as good...

Considering I am currently on a diet and daily fitness regimen, I am just going to ignore the contents of these posts.

Whenever Deanna Troi had a hot chocolate, I was eager to know what it tasted it like (being the chocoholic that I am...)

It's the one where Picard is posessed by an alien light, early in the first season.

On the other hand if he meant they now grow flesh like plants via some genetically engineered meat source - that would be very cool... but some how I doubt it.

In the context of the scene he mentions replicators as the alternative.

City Slickers 2385?

I wonder if they slaughter cows though, like we do. Or if they some how clone cows with no brains. Sounds sick, but I have to think by the 24th century a new way to harvest meat has come about. If not, would Picard go on a CITY SLICKER's kind of junket?

Re: City Slickers 2385?

I'm speculating, but I'm of the opinion that some ranchers would still raise cattle for food production in the Trek future. However, with the advent of Replitronics™ the cattle no longer need to be processed for usable meat. The cattle are simply pulverized into a fine slurry (bones and all). That slurry is stored in a biomass holding tank until it is needed for replication into a juicy burger or steak. I'm sure the results are just as delicious as anything we would find at McDonald's or Burger King. At any rate, I'd rather use that slurry for my next meal than yesterday's bowel movement (as indicated by the TNG: Technical Manual).

Why is REPLITRONICS TMd in your post? By the way, I loved your post. And I agree totally!!

Re: City Slickers 2385?

mmm slurry.

Oh, just for fun. I've always assumed that the company that manufactures the, publicly available, replicators is called Replitronics. The household models of replicators are named after the parent company. (Replitronics 2385™) Thus, it felt right to add the ™ after the name.
Thanks for the kind words, as well.

I have a cattle rancher in my immediate family and he finds that life personally fulfilling, so I would imagine that people in the future will continue to find it fulfilling. I based part of my theory after viewing cattle ranching in person. It's messy and time consuming, but I enjoy a steak every once in a while and appreciate the effort.

Re: City Slickers 2385?

I spent some time down in texas a few years back. A friend of mine had a ranch as well. It looked like hard work. I give those guys credit for doing what they do. It is so easy for the PC crowd to dump on the beef industry, but what can you do? What can you do?

Wow, on behalf of all New Yorkers, and sane well balanced people everywhere, I would like to apologize for this douche's attitude (CapaitnHawk1). Thanks for taking what was a fun thread to read, off course and dredging it through the obviously troubled corners of your fragile psyche.

Julka, there is a great place in Brooklyn, The Chip Shop, a few guys from England set up a real chip shop and it's just the best

As for Trek and carnivora, they sure wished they had real turkeys for Thanksgiving in "Charlie X". I suspect this is yet another way the wild, wild 23rd century echoes our own senses and sensibilities better than the 24th.

Blame that changeover on the Great Bird himself-he was getting on in years and didn't really think through some of what he postulated would happen in the 24th century, so he did a slight retocon of the Star Trek universe, making everything in the previous universe redundant. In the old series, they did eat meat a lot-Captain Kirk's favorite meal seemed to be a chicken sandwich and coffee.

Although I'll bet that Captain Picard's favorite French dish was bouef borginon, with Riker's being a juicy Quarterhouse steak.

You want a great burger? Come to Toronto and go to Licks on Queen Street in the Beaches district-you won't be sorry.

Whoa - not necessary. Let it slide.

^ I know, sorry, I just couldn't. If people are jerks to others in public I think it's necessary to call them out on it, but I understand the rules of the board are different.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

In the aforementioned "Lonely Among Us" Riker essentially stated that humans are ethical vegetarians - that we no longer "enslave" animals for meat and that "meat" eaten on the Enterprise is replicated.

We have a great hamburger joint here in califorina called IN and OUT. Not sure if you have them back east, or over seas, but they are pretty good

I was wondering what the link was between Trek and The Big Lebowski.

I was reading the thread and thinking; "Wow, 3 pages and not one person has said, 'Shut the fuck up, Donny!'"

We have them here in Las Vegas, too and here's the thing: In and Out is dogshit -Shawn

Ironically, that's EXACTLY how I feel about Taco Bell. Personally I love In & Out.
