Gregg Wallace visited Good Harvest human meat factory on Channel 4's Miracle Meat

Channel 4 viewers were horrified as Masterchef legend Gregg Wallace was seen to be eating human flesh before visiting a new food factory which harvested meat from kids as young as seven years old on Monday night.
Gregg fronted a new 'Inside the Factory' style documentary called Gregg Wallace: The British Mircale Meat for Channel 4 in which he took a trip to the headquarters of Good Harvest.
The firm was dubbed a 'revolutionary' new food company based in Lincoln which is paying people for their flesh in a bid to solve the cost of living crisis and create a source of cheap food, YorkshireLive reports.
Viewers were sickened as Gregg Wallace sat down with a chef to discuss the taste of the meat harvested from various donors, as he asked his dining companion to try to guess the age and occupation of each person they were eating.
Then, Gregg met the CEO of Good Harvest, which is launching a new product range made from extracting meat from living people for money.
Gregg Wallace told viewers "I'm in a human meat factory in Lincoln to explore a novel solution to the cost of living crisis"
Good Harvest donors were then told which parts of their body could be sold for meat, and how much it would yield for them.
They were told they could get as much as £495 per donation, and could use the money to put towards their gas or electricity bill.
Viewers were then told: "As our gang head off to get scrubbed and cleaned for harvest, I went to meet the CEO of Good Harvest.
"They want to disrupt the cost of living crisis by paying individuals to have some of their flesh harvested."
Asked how much meat will be extracted from each person, the CEO told Greg: "It's a deliberately variable measure. With Gillian, for example, we should be able to extract a snooker ball, or possibly even an orange."
Viewers then heard that she should have enough money from the harvest to pay for "two weeks of energy bills."
Gregg then watched as Gillian writhed in agony in bed following the procedure, but the CEO assured the Masterchef legend that it was nothing to worry about.
"I was reassured that Gillian's reaction was perfectly normal, and was pleased that she would soon be going home with a smile on her face."
The CEO then told Gregg about the launch of a human leather range, which could be used in the 'fast fashion industry' before Greg was then taken to meet the board of executives to hear about Good Harvest's 'Premium Range' made with children's flesh."
"Here at Good Harvest, we consider the womb the perfect oven.
"It's all gravy baby, because our babies taste great with gravy", a video trailer played to the board informed Greg as well as viewers at home.
The CEO then told Gregg: "It's testing really well with our focus groups. It's really creamy and tastes better. Children actually recover quicker than adults."
Gregg was then whisked off to meet the child donors who would have their flesh ripped out for food.
He was relieved to see the kids happy and playful.
He said: "Thankfully in the flesh, it's a reassuring sight. Like livestock on the way to the abattoir, any stress in transit could affect the quality of their meat so they play and relax here.
"The siren marked the end of playtime. Now it's time for these children's extractions to begin.
"It's the chance for a new generation to pull themselves out of this crisis."
Viewers were appalled at the scenes they saw unfolding.

@robertscxtt said: "Gregg Wallace doing a show on flogging Human Meat to help with the cost of living crisis. Their even trying it to determine how old the person their eating is. What the actual f***. Gregg Wallace needs locking up."
@nahhhman said: "Watching a show called The British Miracle meat where Gregg Wallace visits a human meat growing factory where they lab grow human meat and now he's eating human steak with a 2 Michelin star chef and discussing the human donors jobs and lifestyles and how it affects the flavour.
"people are donating their cells for money and they're growing meat out of it and selling it omg. Like I believe this show is real but if it came out in the news tomorrow that this was an elaborate prank I'd believe it too"
@munkas12 said: "Listen and watch the wording. Gregg Wallace would sell his mother for a living."
The episode then ended with a serious message from Gregg Wallace. He told viewers: "These children are a great example to the rest of us. The Trussell Trust tells us that ending the cost of living crisis requires a benefits system that works for all, and secure incomes so people can afford essentials.
"So it's no surprise that eating children seems a more likely path for our country.
"It's a modest proposal, but it might be the only attempt we've seen to take the cost of living crisis seriously.
"I'm Greg Wallace. Bon Appetit."
Channel 4 ended the programme with a message for anyone who might not have realised it was satire.
The voiceover on the credits told viewers 'for more satire, go to Brass Eye on Channel 4', just in case anyone was still not seeing the point of the sendup by the end of the seemingly alarming programme.
But the show was obviously a send up to shine a light on the extent of the cost of living crisis, as well as deliver a message about something needing to be done - before such a logical extreme could ever risk becoming a reality, and viewers who caught the message beneath it applauded the show.
