The USDA this month approved a biotech firm’s plan to genetically engineer soybeans to produce a “plant-grown” meat protein the company calls Piggy Sooy. The company called it the next “revolution” in food biotech, but critics warned it’s “a dangerous experiment” destined to flop.
Moolec’s patented technology — which the company calls molecular farming — splices pig genes into a conventional soybean. The resulting soybeans are a pink fleshy color inside and the company claims they contain 26.6% animal protein.
“To reduce the complexities of porcine meat into a single protein (myosin) which is the only pork protein produced by the Franken-beans is completely myopic. This is not a pork replacement, it is a recombinant myosin production factory.
“Consumers would therefore be eating a novel substance requiring extensive testing and would require something far beyond what FDA [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] does routinely for GM [genetically modified] food.”
If anything is going to wipe out civilization, it isn’t going to be AI gone rogue, but these abominations created in biolabs. These are direct biological and chemical attacks on people and were considered to be heinous war crimes.(including the post below about the Bird flu killing the dolphin, it all ties in.)
