"Eat your heart out, Dracula - scientists turn blood into biscuits and chocolate."

I'm guessing that the "chocolate" tastes about as much like chocolate as carob does--i.e. it's brown and it's sweet and the only people who think it tastes like chocolate are people who don't like dark chocolate. But it is interesting to see the lengths food scientists will go to in order to turn waste products into something people will buy.

Pardon me, I'm going to go eat a cantaloupe made up of recognizable cantaloupe parts now.

'People should not be apprehensive. When you eat meat, there is blood in that.'

Well, that sounds a bit too much like a rationalization to me. . . Maybe someone could feed me the stuff and not tell me what it was. . .

I suspect that most people would rather not know what they're already eating on a regular basis. But if blood-based food becomes common, you can at least be sure that it won't have the "Kosher" labels on it.
