  There was a recent article about how some vegetarian processed foods contained the claimed micronutrients, but in a form that is not necessarily fully bio-available. We know so little about how nutrients are processed in our bodies that anyone claiming to have a silver bullet replacement for any part of our diet is a big red flag to me. They also lump GMOs and lab-grown meats together as though the concerns for each are identical and can be dismissed as a whole. I'm very comfortable with GMOs as they pertain to most crop varieties. I'm comfortable eating lab grown meat as well, but off the top of my head, I know the collagen level of a chunk of replicated muscle tissue is not going to be the same as what you'd get from a pork chop. It's bad enough that organ meats have been largely eliminated from our diets and red meat and fat demonized. Who knows what other nutrition we're tossing away by eating only lab-grown meats? I'm not scared of progress. I'm scared of individuals with big ideas who don't know how little they know about the incredibly complex way our bodies utilize nutrition.
