https://www.smh.com.au/technology/bitelabs-website-claims-to-grow-meat-from-celebrity-tissue-samples-20140227-33jjb.html

"We mix celebrity and animal meats, grown in house through a proprietary culturing process, into curated salami blends," says the BiteLabs website.

And they can sell it?

How do you guarantee that? If it's just a matter of asking consent, that's probably illegal. If the person died from other causes (illness, accidents, old age etc.), I'd question whether it's safe (illness) or palatable (old age) to eat that meat.

It would probably be enough fitting: If you work in a mortuary, an you have cases of young people that consented to donate their dead body to whatever. I mean they are dead anyway. And they get cremated. So know harm in taking the calf.

Yeah well, I'm only eating people that died by suicide, then.

You an' me baby, ain't nothin' but mammals so let's do it like they do on the good cooking channels

Cannibal by Tally Hall type situation (though unlikely, as I am boring and my flesh is probably sub-par quality due to poor health), maybe with me listening to that* while zonked out my gourd sauteing a chunk of my own arm with mixed vegetables. I usually don't cook meat though, so maybe they'd do that bit.

* Also relevant but more of an emo aesthetic, Misery Meat or People Eater by Sodikken
