What's with the downvotes - molsongolden is right - if it's edible, why shouldn't it be available for those who don't care? But obviously, the fact that most people care will drive this company and this type of meat off the market.
I also don't get why people avoid GM crops - just because they were modified by humans doesn't make it worse. After all, we drive cars and use electronics that don't kill us at every move, right?
- wpietri 15y agoRegarding GM crops, I'm generally for them. Almost all human food has been extensively modified genetically, albeit mainly through breeding and natural mutation, not gene transplantation. So I think a lot of people freaking out about GMOs have a false natural vs artificial thing going on. However, I think people have reason to be cautious. Pretty much every new technology has a lot of surprises early on as people learn to manage it. Especially given that GM organisms generally can reproduce, it's totally plausible to me that we'll end up with at least one thalidomide or Chernobyl or cane toad or leaded gasoline sized problem for GM crops.
- rbanffy 15y ago> most people care I have a problem with those who "care", yet probably don't understand why it's better to treat the meat with ammonia than not treat it at all. They obviously realize that processed meat has less fat and this panic may very well raise the fat content of what kids eat. And they'd be probably OK with cheese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rennet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rennet).
