This is almost exactly from the plot of the movie Antiviral. It's a dystopian movie where people's insatiable love of celebrities have lead them to eat meat produced from their genetic material and infect themselves with the same viruses as their favorite celebrity. It's a strange movie.

So, is this an actual product that you are ready to start producing, or is this just something to raise interest? If Kanye West came to you and say, "you can now push the boundaries of taste with my meat", would you be ready to go?

I'm eating (cereal though, no meat) and I'm not sure I can continue.
