Precision fermentation could produce new staple foods, and end our reliance on farming

Precision fermentation is a refined form of brewing, a means of multiplying microbes to create specific products. It has been used for many years to produce drugs and food additives.

But now, in several labs and a few factories, scientists are developing what could be a new generation of staple foods.

Wish you included "precision fermentation" in the headline.

Indeed, but unfortunately it's the original title

Alright. Thats fair. And you included a write up comment which was pretty nice.

But I gotta ask, why the click bait title? I mean you must've known how cheesy it sounds? Why not fix the title yourself so we all know what they'll talk about?

I didn't downvote or anything. I just oppose click bait journalism because it teaches journalists to sell their stories rather than TELL their stories.

I'm not OP but I thought it was pretty common practice to just keep original article titles when sharing papers/articles on reddit in general.

Ironically to avoid people claiming you are "spicing up" the title for clicks (journalists usually do that for ya though so no need lol)

Bro has discovered biotechnology. I think this idea will die because people won't adopt it. If people knew how most drugs were produced there would probably be a bunch of people that didn't want them anymore. You can already see this in small things like microbial rennet that is equal to animal rennet in all relevant properties and yet (at least in Europe) you still see a lot of animal rennet and at least from my observation the percentage of animal rennet in higher quality cheese (the ones that aren't pre packaged but still available in supermarkets) has risen in the past years
