We don't fully understand how our bodies will react to this experimental train wreck they prepare to perpetrate on us. While a thing might look right at certain Micro-levels of inspection, we must not forget that evolution took millions of years fine tuning the enzymes and other digestive properties of our systems to handle natural whole foods a given way. It works a specific way on specific things, a near copy isn't always good enough (Ask any chemist if "close" is good enough). Look at how many people can't handle the new strains of wheat and gluten(more people have grown intolerant of it in the recent years) it's almost identical .. but not quite. Bottom line while I stipulate to the problems of feeding an ever growing population as critical. We must be exceedingly careful as to how we do it. Lest we be the engines of our own extinction.
