Your lifestyle is only possible thanks to modern agricultural technology and the high energy density and amount of cheap vegetarian food availabe. If you don't have that you need meat or you harm yourself and die.

@doodlebear Spoken like someone who has truly never grown their own food.

Actually, "urban farms" are a growing trend. More and more people are giving up on the animal products and/or buying as much locally sourced organic or "grown with organic methods" as possible. Smart people are giving up their 2nd day job to grow food. Modern agriculture is really more of a problem than a solution but I do agree that to feed our large populations we need to keep the best of the modern technology and apply as much of it as you can to organic and more natural practices.

Not exactly true. There were plenty of cultures pre-modern-agriculture who lived on little to no animal products whatsoever. There are even still places where you can do that, in the wild, right now.
There is a WIDE variety of "modern agricultural technology" like greenhouses, aquaponics, hugleculture, etc. that is perfectly harmless, but those don't involve messing with DNA itself. Working in tandem with the plants & environment is a whole different story from trying to play god.
