I've always wondered if we could potentially use genetic engineering to open up new possibilities for food. Would it be possible to make some inedible foods edible this way? For instance, what if you could make non-poisonous death cap mushrooms or nightshade berries?
why? we have like 200,000 edible plants known so far, yet, we have a pretty monoculture type of behaviour when eating... investing in tech for this type of thing feels a waste, unless we start to live the utopia of infinite resources
