If we are on this topic then we need to discuss a genetically modified gut microbiota. We do not need to edit genetically ourselves for some pityful vitamins. Microbiota could give us all we want. It could enable us to digest plastic, so we could eat food without removing its packaging. We could reduce severity of our waste problems by digesting plastic into relatively harmless poop.
- emiliobumachar 3y agoSounds unappetizing. Would you want to eat packaging if not for the - for now inevitable - digestion issues?
- ordu 3y agoYeah, you are right, it is not cool. How about to eat your fork? Can microbiota digest iron?
