	The basic idea is simple: take a few Stem Cells from a (for example) a cow, put them in a growth chamber, pump in nutrients and chemicals made in a bioreactor, pump out waste and have them grow into muscle tissue and then harvest it and grill it. Badda bing badda bomb, you have a Lab-Grown steak. Not a facimile made from processed plant matter, but real bovine flesh. Potentially this could revolutionize the meat industry as it would need less inputs, produce less cow-farts and vegetarians who avoid meat for ethical reasons can enjoy the real deal guilt free and there is a lot of people looking into doing this on an industrial scale.

			In general, there has been considerable progress on this front over the last decade and a lot of effort into developing it. It is possible to grow meat cultures and they pass the taste test. The initial runs were very expensive, though costs are steadily going down.

The complications are not with simple things such as sugars, which have molecules with a couple dozen atoms. It's with the more complex chemicals like proteins, which are hideously complex and require molecular machinery to build.

	You want to do a [[Dieselpunk]] on an [[Atompunk]] setting. A general idea was very industrial and synthetic with terms like "Pre-Digested" being thrown around as unironic positives. If you want a microcosm of this of this mindset and how it played out, it's Wonderbread.		You want to do a [[Dieselpunk]] on an [[Atompunk]] setting, well they had ideas about food.

If you want a microcosm of this of this mindset and how it played out, it's Wonderbread.

	It used to be that poor people ate whole wheat bread and rich people ate white bread. White flour is sieved, which removes the bran and germ of the grain as well as (back in the old days when storage was not so good) things like dirt, bug bits and rat shit. Sieving flour was originally done by hand, but could be mechanized making what was a luxury food a staple for the masses. This happened with the development of automatic baking machines in which loaves of bread could be made in the millions easily without humans ever touching the product before it's sold. Only problem was that the brain and germ contain a lot of important nutrients and white bread is pretty much junkfood. So in WWII the US began enriching flour with various vitamins, calcium and other additives so GI Joe would be in good shape to kick Hitler's butt. After the war, you got Wonder-Bread which was seen as modern and futuristic in the 1950s. Since then, there's been a shift back to whole wheat flour and artisan bread as the prestige food.

	Vampires obviously prefer blood, preferably straight from the vein. However this isn’t always possible, either due to only a limited number of victims or the need to conceal their condition from others. ~~And frankly~~ one can only ~~duck~~ so many necks before getting bored and desiring some variety in one’s diet. Blood soup is an easy dish to make, and blood that is properly curd make for great portable snacks. Steak la tartar is an a popular dish, but many nosferatu are well known for their signature blood sausages. One vampire has become famous for his delicious blood pancakes, so much so that he has people lining up willing to give their own blood just for a taste. Just don’t ask from where, or who, the blood comes from.		Vampires obviously prefer blood, preferably straight from the vein.

	In a world with vast supplies of clean energy, huge robot workforces, 3D printers and other forms of automated fabrication it is conceivable that we could eliminate hunger and see to it that everyone eats well. In Utopian societies like the [[Star Trek\|United Federation of Planets]] or [[The Culture]] this is the case.
