All this does, is make me wish I had my own garden; raise my own cows so as to never have to see another super market again and wonder...what have they put into the food?
Embrace the future? Looks to me like the future will embrace us, in ways we don't even want to think about.
We have been geneticaly engineering all manner of beasts by selective breeding for at least 10,000 years. These guys are just in a hurry to make as much money as the bankers. You don't believe they would take shortcuts, do you?

So, do it!
Or, get to know the organic farmers at your local farmers market. Buy your meat/eggs/milk (where legal) straight from the farm.

Were I live and I have been here all of my life...there use to be farmer's markets on the street corners of most intersections. We would stop there and buy some of our produce. Today, I don't see them any more. At times I do see the occasional water melon truck.
We do get local eggs from the market...other than that, (I visited ND) I'd have to move to and near family who own farms in North Dakota, so as to reverse time, so to speak. Deer meet would be the substitute for cow there. They hunt and freeze their own to get through the winters.
I live in my ex-husbands house (virtually homeless) and even though I have presented the idea to him, to take part of the back yard and turn it into a vegetable garden, he really doesn't seem to keen on the idea.

Not me. I'm embracing the past, like growing and preserving my own fruits, berries, and vegetables and buying my meat and eggs from the neighboring farmers. I prefer our local Amish store to the supermarket.
I've never seen a creature like that "super cow" in any pasture around here. What's next, a "super pig"?
