Molecular farming company Moolec has inserted pig genes into soy beans to generate meaty-tasting proteins that can be grown in plants.

I’m naturally quite cautious about things like this, but I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

    and in selling the protein back to the meat industry who can mix it with similarly graded animal protein

    I can absolutely see this happening. I can also see them slowly replacing the actual meat with more and more nonmeat fillers over time, as fewer and fewer people can even afford meat.

      I hope you’re right, friend and I hope that this signals the imminent death of animal agriculture.
