My big concern is that it’s going to be next to impossible to avoid the coming wave of modified food. Gene editing, mRNA delivery systems disguised as food, all kinds of stuff that you can’t see and which they may or may not tell you about.
Yeah, you can grow your own, or eat organic, but that’s a bit of a boutique solution. A nation of 350 million people can’t “eat around” this problem.

Next year: Jurassic Pork!
Hm. That sounds more like geriatric congressmen voting money for their districts...
To: No name given
Their scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could but never stopped to consider if they should.

Germany can have a billion pigs for free from Texas farmers, the Germans just have to catch the little boogers.

How soon before they make us eat Gene-Edited BUGS ?????

Can I blame the gene edited pork for making my belly big?
To: oldasrocks
I dunno, but if you find out, let me know. I’m tired of blaming myself

Perhaps they should genetically modify a pig that wants to be eaten and can say so clearly and distinctly!

The public often holds many misconceptions about gene-editingTell that to the people who died when Japan used genetically engineered bacteria to produce Tryptophan.
