It is simply insane to modify ecological genomes for the purposes and in the ways we have chosen to call industry. The results »cannot be predictable or good; our species still doesn’t actually understand much about what organisms are, and we are toying with something vastly more sophisticated than it is even possible to imagine.

90% of our cells are not human. Do you think they ran assays on our commensal microbiota?

They didn’t, because ‘science’ is just starting to get a clue that they exist or matter.
