A report from 2010 is revisited regarding Bill Gates and the rollout of synthetic, lab-grown meat using "immortal cell lines." The process involves growing animal stem cells in large stainless steel bioreactors. Critics argue this technology gives the scientific elite total control over the food supply, effectively banning traditional ranching.

Medicago is utilizing gene-editing technology to transform common plants like bananas, lettuce, and potatoes into mini bioreactors for vaccine production. The process involves synthesizing virus codes into biological products and using Agrobacterium tunfaciens to insert genetic instructions into plant cells via a vacuum bath. These plants then produce virus-like particles intended for human consumption as edible vaccines.
