Did you read the article? It’s about splicing the DNA snippets that produce umami proteins onto plants.
I did. The article is riddled with blind support for plant based capitalism and suggests using the tech to improve existing meat products. I also read a little about moolec, which itself ~~grew out of~~ is quite cozy with the pork industry. Finally, where are they getting the DNA subsequences? Is such a company going to build a small library of DNA and then never grow/purchase new pigs to deconstruct to catalog taste, texture, and genetic material?
Soybeans are good, and they don't need to taste or feel like pigs for people to enjoy them.
It’s Wired: of course it’s going to be riddled with blind support for capitalism.
From the industrial scale pig torture infrastructure that was already here.
Scolding people into eating their beans has been going great so far.
That's not vegan, did you get lost?
