[DIYbio] Re: Designer Probiotics. Anyone interested in this?

But one problem:

Children in Africa are starving.

And we put bacteria in our stomach to keep eating as much as possible.
If we just ate the half, we had to produce less. Use less fertilizer
(that releases nitrous oxides into the atmosphere! phosphorus reserves
are on the decline,... transport of the food costs fuel -> greenhouse
gasses ,,.... )

And you'd engineer humans so that they couldn't survivie in the
wilderness. In the unlikely case that the whole civilisation crashes,
humans that needed at least 3500kcal would not survive while 'natural'
human with a need of 1500-2000 rather would survive.

I think by that you're creating far more problems than you solve.
