I'm personally waiting for supermarkets to literally smarten up and start offering Extra-GMO food.
Just let the geneticists go wild on those animals, I want a turkey leg the size of my head served with a side of golden rice.

To be fair, they already kinda do that. The chickens are massive compared to normal ones we would’ve had decades ago, which can lead to some premature deaths (I think it’s heart issues?)
For some breeds if you let them live to full adulthood instead of slaughtering them at 6 weeks they can't really walk well. The extra muscle doesn't make them stronger, it just adds so much bulk they can't move it all. It's pretty sad.
Wow, science actually does something useful for a change. There's no way I'm giving up my 40 piece McNuggets over some stupid germs 😂 😂 😂
we've been using crispr to perform gene editing for 11 years now. "science" articles need to stop using analogies about it.
We could just stop eating chickens. 🙄
