Cinder Spires Setting discussion [TAW Sample Chapter SPOILERS]
Quantus:
First question: How exactly is Meat generated in Vats, and is anyone else picturing some sort of soylent protein slime that sounds none too appetizing? Granted, I eat chili dogs, but still... :o
ITheHellAmFan:
I don't know, All I could think of is an episode form the Colbert Report form a couple years back where he talked about scientists trying to grow artificial meat without an actual animal, which at that time was still several years of testing away form maybe being used for sausage. I'll try to find a link.
knnn:
It's a pretty typical trope for (admittedly futuristic) Scifi. Cells reproduce on their own given oxygen/water/nutrients, so as long as you can supply that you are fine. Here, I assume it's all done with "crystals".
Very much reminds me of Dr. Dinonsaur. ;)

Second Aristh:
Do we know that meat is necessarily generated with the vats? I could see the vats being some sort of processing or preserving system.

you are right, Produced might be a better word. But it's a "vattery" so I have to assume that the vats are the primary part of the process. Living on spires it would make sense that they cant have much in the way of traditional grazing herd animals. But then were does the 'meat' come from?
