"I'm a farm boy. It's very interesting; you can detect self-starting characteristics in this society and they are strongest among people who have had some kind of rural upbringing and a very impressionable stage."
- Frank Herbert

| Juiciveal | ||
| Artificially grown veal. |
Margaret St. Clair had a gift for brand names.
| “What kind of meat are you growing now?” Mrs. Timens asked. She was a broad-beamed, comfortable woman whose questions were pleasantly easy to answer.
“Juiciveal," Mr. Fremden answered. “We’ll be growing Juicipork later. And the crop we just harvested was Juicibeef.” “Have you had any opposition from religious groups?” Miss Paura put in from where she was walking beside Mr. Angst of Gourmand. Miss Paura was the worst of the three. A small, dark, lively woman, she seemed to have a flair for asking inconvenient questions. But she was culinary editor for all the Pfand-Loose publications, and it was particularly important to get her endorsement for Juicimeet products. She had already mentioned visiting the Veristeak plant yesterday. |
