Chicken Little

Frederick Pohl's first novel (I believe it's his first -- 1952) was titled The Space Merchants. I read it long ago and can't remember the story. But one thing from that book stood out -- the future society represented in the story received its protein from a giant throbbing mass of featureless flesh grown in a laboratory, mined, and packaged for human consumption. The giant flesh mass was called "Chicken Little." See the BBC report, Year 2005.
