Ok, so on the one hand we have billionaires wanting to go to space and live the James Bond (when they were good) lifestyle of secret base, cool gadgets and rockets
On the other we got guys like Bill Gates that want to force us to eat bugs and genetically modified plants, have no land to call our own and be used as guinea pigs for science.
I prefer the Bond villains
You have been eating GMOs for millennia.
Are you comparing selective breeding done over generations to some guy in a lab trying to make plants taste like meat?
There are no laboratories or research done on growing plants that taste like meat. And laboratory research on plants changes far less genes than selective breeding or interbreeding. Oranges comes from tangerines and lemons crossbreeding. You would never have oranges without that.
Your logic also dictates no sweet potato consumption, since sweet potato is a breed between a bacteria and potato.
We had sweet potatoes 5000 years ago, we just used selective breeding to get the modern version like everything we grow and cultivate now.
The difference is who do you trust to be in charge of this process? A guy in a lab coat or a farmer that's worked the land for generations.
