I thought they all grew the tomatos in labs... Square, with Salmon genes for that familiar pinkness, and over a year old thanks to modern chemistry.

Also, if I remember correctly, it takes 300 gallons of water to make 1 Big Muck.

It might be easier and more effacacious to work on a campaign to get people to just not eat their "food"(quotes intentional).

Note: I'm gonna be on hiatus for a little while, going to visit my father, who isn't doing well, in N Carolina, and am going to be relocating over the next month or so.
