Very optimistic to think that land will be given back to nature. More likely sprawling construction projects and parking lots

At the scale agriculture exists? Seems doubtful.
Even in the US agriculture has 17% of the land and urban areas 2%. In Belgium it’s 45% to 9%. In the UK 63% to 9%.
Even the most committed suburban sprawl enthusiast is going to run out of concrete before they can make the urban environment 9 or 10 times bigger.

And more server farms, casinos and Amazon warehouses.
How do I opt out please? I don’t want my food genetically created, it’s unnatural, subjected to nefarious modifications and even more price fixing then what’s currently going on.
I giggle at this part of the article: “don’t be misled by cartoons of happy cows with daisies protruding from their lips.”
I live in NY, home of the cow field. I’m sure they exist, but I’ve never seen anything like that before. It’s usually 70% land to chicken or cow or horse.

Domestication of animals has been humanity genetically modifying animals for thousands of years. We also pump our animals full of antibiotics and growth hormones. Bit strange to draw the line now.

Yup, I’ll take my living, breathing, real life animals and not cloned, genetically modified the way nature didn’t intended any day.
The real issue that none of you care about is once genetically grown meat takes hold there’s no going back.
