* One of the latest GMO Frankenfoods is Piggy Sooy, a soybean genetically engineered to contain pig protein. One or more undisclosed pig genes are spliced into conventional soya to create a soybean with 26.6% animal protein
* Moolec, the U.K.-based company that developed Piggy Sooy, is also working on developing a pea plant that produces beef protein. The company claims these transgenic hybrids will provide similar taste, texture and nutritional value as meat, without the high cost of cultured or lab-grown meat alternatives
* June 21, 2023, the U.S. Department of Agriculture authorized the sale of cell-cultivated chicken from Good Meat and Upside Foods. Both plan on rolling out their synthetic chicken to “high-end” restaurants across the U.S. first, while they scale up production
* Researchers have discovered that CRISPR-Cas gene editing wreaks havoc in the plant genome, causing several hundred unintended genetic changes to occur simultaneously “in a catastrophic event” that ripples across large parts of the genome
* Because these changes are impossible to predict, gene edited plants cannot be assumed safe without extensive testing

As expected, more and ever-wilder transgenic foods are being produced. Among the latest is Piggy Sooy, a soybean genetically engineered to contain pig protein.1,2 According to Moolec, the U.K.-based company that developed this latest Frankenfood, pig genes were spliced into conventional soya to create a soybean with 26.6% animal protein.
The exact pig genes used is a trade secret. As a result of this genetic engineering, the interior flesh of the soybean is also a rosy flesh color. The company is also working on developing a pea plant that produces beef protein. Moolec claims these transgenic hybrids will provide similar taste, texture and nutritional value as meat, without the high cost of cultured or lab-grown meat alternatives. According to New Atlas:3
“Farmers will raise the plants via conventional agricultural practices. Once the beans have been harvested and processed — again, via conventional techniques — their proteins will go into meat substitutes and other products …
As is the case with lab-grown pork, it is hoped that commercial adoption of Piggy Sooy could ultimately eliminate the raising and slaughtering of pigs, along with the associated ethical and environmental concerns.
‘Moolec has developed a unique, successful, and patentable platform for the expression of highly valuable proteins in the seeds of economically important crops such as soybeans,’ says the company’s chief science officer, Amit Dhingra.
‘This achievement opens up a precedent for the entire scientific community that is looking to achieve high levels of protein expression in seeds via molecular farming.’ There’s currently no word on when foods containing the proteins may be available to consumers.”
Soon, you will grow BACON in your garden!....................
Pig men can’t be far off.
Can’t we just move on to Soylent Green and get it over with?
Man-Bear-Pig?.....................
There may be some merit to this, if it turns out to be reliable and harmless, especially for the less prosperous world struggling to feed themselves. A lot more efficient to grow soybeans than to raise hogs.
Pork and Beans would be a lot cheaper...................
Moolec?
That isn’t suspicious at all.
Contrary to the glee of the mad genetic scientists, it is clear that playing god is not a game that will end well. Did you get the gist of the article? When they start manipulating genes, a roulette wheel of spontaneous, uncontrollable, and unpredictable changes occurs in the host’s genetic code. Apparently, this is a universally occurring phenomenon that occurs in all plants and animals.
Vegans will be conflicted.
More soybean spam just what we need.
/s
Moolee Is that like Molek?
Oh yeah because those countries are already growing soooo much soy
Those foolish enough to also fall for the Covid Vaccine scam can try this out first. They are used to being lab rats.
“Soon, you will grow BACON in your garden!”
Maga dittos. You must plant them Mrs. Di and let us know what turns out. Meanwhile I am selling loads of mangoes off my trees. There is no mango recession pour les connoisseurs......
GACK.
They should use this is soy products sold in Islamic countries. The same with the “beef peas” sold in India.
It’s easier and safer to just breed vegetable-brained farm animals. The Demonrats have shown us how.
