This pops a lot of questions for the future... will there be a future ban on commercial animal slaughter? Will this temporarily give a big boost to solving the world's food and environment problems ? The data in the last bit of the video is quite exceptional.

In health terms I think it's not gonna be good because one of the healthiest things you can eat is not "a something", but a little of everything (that is meant for eating as food, notably), and biological diversity may be lost upon our bodies.

Can I get some genetically-modified fries with that?

But are not potatoes genetically modified in the US ?

To increase crops and to make them resistent against diseases and insects.

Which plants Monsanto has taken care of until now ?

I hope that hemp is not among them. I eat it every day for breakfast (grown in Austria, hemp flour, full of Omega 3 and protein).

I think we'll be eating whatever the monopolists decide to be honest.
