OMG! MEAT TREE!!! FOR SCIENCE!!!

This is old news, and I am told it is a hoax, but I was just reminded of it, so here you go.
It was told to me that science had created a meat tree!
The "fruit" of this tree is said to look like an orange, but bear beef
on the inside. Hoax or not, this raises some questions:

1. Can you still get salmonella?

2. Can we use the sap from said tree as gravy?

3. How about a coconut-style beer tree?

4. Would it sting the same to get beef-squirt in the eye?

5. Is this meat in segment form, and if so, do I smell a
"Terry's Chocolate Beef" in the future?..."Christmas just
isn't the same this year, Mommy."

6. Is it wrong to think that if you're going to eat this meat,
you should also use the peels for clothing?

7. Have you ever had my tree-beef pizza? It's to die for.

8. Since it grows from a tree, can vegetarians eat it without
the guilt? Animals have been eating their young for years. Maybe
you think I'm the one who's weird. Would you like to discuss it
over a plate of corn-tree-beef and cabbage patch kid?

9. Will the bark be like jerky?

10. Should we be on the lookout for a mayonnaise river? It'll be out in
the sun all day too, and I'm sure it would be great on a beef-tree
sandwich. And would make for a great boating experience.....
OR WOULD IT?!?.....
"OH, MY GOD!!! IT'S THE GREAT WHITE SHARK!!! AND I THINK HE CAN
SMELL MY BASKET OF TREE-BEEF CASSEROLE!!!...."
That's enough of this subject for now.
