I wonder whether it would carry an increased risk of disease transmission. Could a factory worker with influenza infect "human meat" and transmit it to consumers in a way that wouldn't be possible with non-human animal tissue? This is probably a big part of the reason we have such a strong gut aversion to cannibalism.

I'm pretty sure I've actually seen fake human meat in some documentary at some point. I'd google it but at work I'd probably be put on a very special list.
