Okay, folks, I've been asked for it, and here it is: the spoiler party for Feed. Anything goes in the comments on this post only. If you haven't read the book, I ask that you not click. If you have, feel free to jump in, ask questions, discuss, or just yell at me. I'm cool either way.
"If ostriches are still safe, why aren't people farming them?"
Because eating meat isn't murder any more; it's suicide. Like it says in the book, some people gave up meat completely, even though fish and birds are safe.
In my long discussions with S about post-rising cuisine during the proofing process, ostriches came up, and yes, ostrich is the new beef. But as I think is mentioned in the book, a lot of people are too afraid to eat any meat, so veganism got a lot more common.
