Presumably the same process could genetically engineer in all the omega 3 and other goodies one wants and get rid of the cholesterol and undesirable stuff. Sounds worthwhile to me.

Yea, except all that 'undesirable' stuff usually turns out to be good for you a few years down the road. We don't understand our body chemistry well enough to say that certain substances aren't needed for proper function.
Also, think of the taste! Why would you kill that?

I agree with you. Science doesn't know everything. IMHO, whenever man starts to tinker with things, some things seem to improve and new problems arise.

With said, I still want to see if they can pull it off. :-)

The liver makes all the cholesterol I need and it’s pretty well established science that omega 3’s are good for you. I think the chemistry could be tuned up a bit more favorably for us without loss of taste.
