Not to mention mad cow disease and similar issues.
What risks are you thinking of with plant based or lab grown? If anything it seems the lab environment would catch anything significant before it got out of the building.
I'm not arguing with you, honestly curious. I've not thought about this much.
You’re asking people to trust a process (food science) that we’ve spent the last decade finding out has poisoned us for generations.
HFCS wasn't last decade. Trans-fats wasn't last decade. We've known they were bad more than a decade ago.
Many more decades ago they marketed these artificial food alternatives without any evidence of long term health effects, and the process of "proving" them bad took many years (funny how the onus lies on the potential victims), and only recently we've been able to mostly contain the damage of HFCS and trans fats.
It seems every once a while this process restarts again. Americans sure love to play with their food. (I'm not American)
