## Description

K-Meats is a multi-national livestock and meat company owned by MNT. They are one of the largest meat companies in the world, and have facilities in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.

Besides manufacturing real, fresh beef, they also manufacture an artificial type of beef called Cattle Sprouts. Cattle Sprouts are a fungal type plant that eventually grows into a living, breathing, cow-like creature that can be harvested for meat. The discovery for Cattle Sprouts was made by FANG Laboratories, who also continues to support K-Meats financially.

K-Meats also previously manufactured Pork Soda, which had a flavor similar to pork covered in brown gravy. It was discontinued in 2007, and the last remaining Pork Soda dispensary is owned by a private company.

## Brief History

In the 80's, a company called The 5-K Company created multiple subsidiary companies to handle the rapid growth of their company. Three of them were made; K-Meats, K-Clothing, and K-Grocery. All three companies would specialize in a certain service, while the 5-K Company would directly manage products that didn’t fit into the three categories.

During the late 80's, MNT acquired the 5-K Company after the 5-K Company was close to bankruptcy. MNT ditched K-Clothing, K-Grocery and The 5-K Company. The only remaining company was K-Meats. K-Meats were to receive a new company image while it was under the management of MNT.

In the early 90's, K-Meats would soon become one of the largest meat companies in Canada, and The United States. Meat was supplied by work camps, or large livestock farms throughout Canada and The United States.

Midway in the 90's, K-Meats had grown too large to keep up with growing livestock, as that had become too costly. MNT gave the green light for FANG Laboratories to come up with some sort of loophole to the problem; a cheaper alternative. FANG Laboratories had come up with a carnivorous fungal plant, with the name, C-S-X-1. Simply known as, “Cattle Sprouts.” Cattle Sprouts were plants that could be planted into the ground to eventually mature into a grotesque “cow” creature. These creatures were made possible using advanced chemical and biological engineering. The cow creatures could be slaughtered, or meat could be harvested from it within one week before completely decomposing.

In the early 2000's,  K-Meats created a new product to appeal to younger audiences. This product was called “Pork Soda.” As the name implies, it was a pork-flavoured soda. It was made possible by grinding up pork, mixing the ground up pork into carbonated water, and adding flavouring. Thus, creating Pork Soda. Pork Soda came in three different types: Canned, Bottled, and Jug. Pork Soda vending machines could be rented out.

In the mid 2000's, Pork Soda was eventually dropped from K-Meats due to it being disliked by the public, and the costs of keeping Pork Soda was far too expensive. Only one Pork Soda distributer building remains in Port Terra.

Today, K-Meats remains as one of the most popular meat companies, and frequently supplies meat to grocery stores, and restaurants, such as TarBurger. The company however faces multiple controversies about the ethics behind Cattle Sprouts.
