Engineered Human Flesh on the Menu?

Researchers-transfer-human-protein-plants-supersize-them

From the new RNA vaccines to food stuff of our own human RNA around the corner!

Supposedly, wasn't mad cow disease caused pretty much by feeding farm raised cow (objectified living entities into human food consumption menu items) precisely due to feeding them animal protein?!

Isn't population increase and concerns of food shortly, when the real issue is primarily inadequate food distribution, like other resources, just an excuse to profit upon greedy impulses and lack of sound ethics, values and morals?

We are no doubt looking squarely to becoming a canibalistic species! The behavior might have randomly and sparsely existed, but never before a global norm.

Was this an inevitable outcome of genetically modified food organism GMO? Why do I feel like I was blindsighted? Shouldn't I have seen that we wouldn't stop at nothing, and that more progress only enboldens us into the smithereens of the imagined human glorious civilizations/ evolution?How is this okay, albeit unavoidable now?

"The protein responsible for the plants’ extraordinary growth spurt is the human fat mass and obesity-associated protein called FTO. While its associated gene gets a bad rap for increasing one’s obesity risk, the researchers previously reported that the protein is important for regulating growth in humans and other mammals. According to the researchers, FTO chemically modifies RNA strands, which are the short genetic recipes for individual proteins copied right out of the DNA playbook. This modification forces the RNA to produce the protein it encodes for. Essentially, FTO acts as a master “on” switch that ramps up widespread protein production across multiple RNA strands."

“It [was] really a bold and bizarre idea,” says study author Chuan He, a chemist at the University of Chicago. The human body produces tens of thousands of proteins, and the first one his group tried in plants was FTO. “To be honest, we were probably expecting some catastrophic effects.”

"But the authors of the study seemed to have taken a stab in the dark and struck gold. “My guess is they were pretty surprised,” he says."
