Gene-Edited Fungi: Feeding the Future or Funding Control?
Updated
At first glance, the new genetically engineered fungal “meat” recently highlighted by Cell Press looks like classic future-food bait. Fast-growing. Protein-dense. CRISPR-tweaked so it digests easier, costs less, and mimics the texture of meat—all without the animal. No feathers, no fur, no heartbeat. Just vat-grown muscle mimicry via their altered Fusarium fungal strain. The scientists…Continue reading Gene-Edited Fungi: Feeding the Future or Funding Control?
