As a maturing Technocracy, China is steeped in genetic modification of everything that concerns the food supply. GMO milk at scale could negatively affect health of huge numbers of people. Technocrats invent because they are compelled, not because there is an informed demand to do so.

Gates unnatural interest in food includes massive acreage of U.S. farmland, investments in artificial meat companies like Beyond Meat and now an artificial egg company that aims to replace real eggs laid by chickens. With food processing companies burning to the ground and chickens suddenly declining in egg laying, egg prices have gone though the roof. Coincidence?

In the wake of EU approval of two types of insects for human consumption, products are flooding the shelves of EU grocery stores. Now children are being fed meatless diets in order to save the world from flatulating bovines and resource-intensive ranchers. Some cultures in poorer areas of the world eat bugs mostly because they are poor and cannot afford other types of protein.

Why the unending push for lab-grown meat? Technocrats and Transhumanists are bent on getting delivery systems to the human body and food is a logical choice. The old adage, "you are what you eat" comes to mind. Lab-grown meat can be modified to include any life-altering material that might affect bodily systems. Naturally-grown meat is not accessible.

The insect craze is gaining steam in the EU. Any food may now contain insect protein as long as it is labeled as such, e.g., "insect biscuits" or "insect paste". Technocrats partly reason that insects take fewer resources to grow than other forms of agriculture like row crops and animal husbandry. Technocracy, of course, is a resource based economic system that prizes efficiency.
