Genetic modification of animals is used to maximize their performance in the meat industry. Just at what price? - Photo: YouTube/EricWildLife
Double the pork knuckle, lard for lard and pork for stew times 2, or maybe more... More meat! - cries people, and geneticists in the service of humanity are looking for ways to meet the demand. Through genetic manipulation, they manage to create animal experiments, with increased weight in the most valuable parts of the body. Researchers say such developments are the future of agriculture and the answer to the increasing number of people on Earth.
A pig like on steroids
Latest news about successes in the field of animal genetic modification, concern the achievements of Seoul-based scientist Prof. Jin-Soo Kim, who succeeded in creating pigs with unnatural muscle hypertrophy.All this is due to the deletion of one gene - the myostatin protein, responsible for limiting muscle hypertrophy. Thanks to this mutation, it is possible to obtain the so-called "double muscling", which is a desired effect by many breeders. Thanks to this with one pig and expenditure on its breeding, one obtains significantly more meat.

I think I'm going to become a vegetarian....
I've been around for about 7 years now 🙂 .
"I was?" So now you're eating meat Admin? 🙂
Well, unfortunately, yes, because I do not have a patent on meals, dishes
On a Christian intro page I found an entry concerning healthy lifestyle: detoxify yourself from toxins, buy organic food, don't use plastic containers, filter water, etc. The author of the page mentions these activities in order to live as naturally as God intended. The author of the site lists these activities in order to live as naturally as possible, as God wanted, but not everyone can afford it, if only for financial reasons. In one word, I am "killing" myself from the inside 🙂 .
As far as meals are concerned, I would be able to cook vegetarian dinners, but other family members need and even demand meat;-)
Hello
I don't eat carrion because I don't need to consume animal corpses to fill my stomach! 😛 Generally speaking man can only survive on eggs, bananas and goat's milk, that's it in a nutshell 🙂 As for those genetic modifications, the cow in the picture that looks like Hercules is actually and this is going to sound silly naturally modified. It's a specially selected Belgian mixture, I think, because I don't remember exactly, but the biggest "pacers" are chosen and crossed with each other for years and the effect can be seen above.
I believe that not eating meat is a noble, commendable form of abstinence. I myself have great difficulty with self-control. I have weak willpower. I love kebab dishes... I admire those followers of the Lord Jesus Christ who are able to successfully renounce the pleasures of eating meat, drinking alcohol or using cannabis.
I don't have a problem with giving up meat, alcohol, I don't drink in any form, I don't smoke, but this sugar...I fight with it all the time :-/
Frankly speaking, we live in times when there is no more /generally available/ good and healthy food. For example, fish - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XomF1er9mLc&feature=youtu.be
I recommend the book The Invisible War for Your Life, among other things it has contributed to many changes in my life, including changes in the kitchen, meat is forgotten. I recommend

I have one and I also recommend it 🙂 I have one.
Dear Renata, tell me if this book doesn't contain any false teachings, because from the description it seems good, but I also wonder if it makes sense to take care of what you eat, because from us, who are farmers and know what the food market looks like from the inside, everything in the world is polluted
For example, the world's oceans contain huge amounts of mercury and other heavy metals, and chemicals are sprayed over our heads, so a healthy diet is a fairy tale.
I too know what farming is like today, I live in England and believe you would not want to eat the food here. It doesn't matter whether you eat a tomato or a potato, everything has the same taste, which is bland compared to the original. But what can you do, you have to live somehow, although it's known that what you eat is not healthy. As far as meat is concerned, unlike plants, it is made of living beings which also feel and warm. I don't eat meat and I feel happier because I know that I don't participate in these mass murders, and you know how slaughterhouses look like today. I think that we should think about what we have on our plate and not just satisfy our desires.
And I highly recommend the book 🙂 I do.
I've just ordered the book for 25 zł tomorrow I'll pick it up, read it and see how it is
