> They were bred with climate change in mind
So they’ve found a way to have happy cows that burp less methane?
No? Shorter hair so their methane burb greenhouse doesn’t feel so hot? Oh. This probably just boils down to profits after all.
More patented life and another food product I plan to avoid. I wonder if the average consumer will be as disgusted and turned off by the idea of eating genetically modfied meat as I am.
And yet people seem to be interested in lab-produced meat alternatives that use synthetic blood-like formula to make it taste like actual meat?
From the 12+ Years on HN I know this is an unpopular opinion. I dont like GMO / Genome-edited cattle / food or crops. Even if it could theoretically occur through a natural breeding process. You can cross breed all you want. GMO is not cross breed as many on HN somehow believes last time we had this discussions. You can do Data Science and other controlled environment in providing better yield as in EUR ( Or specific…
I'm no fan of GMO products either, but the whole point is that it gets you there faster , and in a more predictable way, than doing cross-breeding. Economics at work.

Address the real problem. We are too many people on the earth for the resources that we are naturally given. That's a fact.
> We are too many people on the earth for the resources that we are naturally given. The same old rant that we hear for like 100 years now "when we reach 1 billion people everyone will starve", "peak oil is just around the corner (back in the 70s)", and all this kind of bullshit. Resources are plentiful as long as you are ingenious when it comes to harvesting them.

A lot of food I buy has labels saying GMO-free on it. Although maybe that's just to distinguish from GMO plants currently.
judging from the article right above this one, soon we will see "Lawmakers Eats CRISPR Beef to Celebrate Legality, Become Immediately Sick (2055) (modernfarmer.com)"
