And other stories from the stranger side of life
A Channel 4 satire last night pretended that human meat will be sold to address the cost of living crisis. During the show, “Gregg Wallace: The British Miracle Meat”, Wallace said that he was visiting a company that sold “engineered human meat” as a way to combat the cost of living crisis. A “scientist” told him that the meat had to be grown from slices of flesh that had been surgically harvested from humans. The Guardian asked whether the show was “the most disturbing TV satire ever”.
