I’m just not sure how well those other options really work, if there is an issue with these products. Maybe ban them until they can prove long term safety. We really have no idea if these “foods” will have any long term negative effects or not at this point. I get that they’re not quite an equivalent of eating human meat but they’re also not your average run of the mill food products. It’s not like they’re banning chicken or tofu to favor beef producers.

And I’m all for innovation but Frankenfoods are not the kind of innovation I think we need most and they likely have more potential to cause harm than others. I would like to see more innovations in agriculture than see engineered artificial food.
