Federal regulators have approved lab-grown eggs made from gene-edited mold, which are reportedly being sold at major retailers like Walmart and Target. The product is created in fermentation vats using a process that is cheaper than traditional poultry farming. Critics warn that these "factory fungus" products are often hidden in packaged foods without clear labeling for consumers.

The "Food Chain Reaction" simulation, involving Cargill and other organizations, predicted global food shortages and civil unrest leading to a global carbon tax. In a related development, the FDA cleared CRISPR gene-edited cattle for food consumption, specifically "PRLR-slick" cattle designed to be heat-tolerant. The discussion also touches on the promotion of insects and fly larvae as the "food of the future" to address climate-related food insecurity.
