Bioethicist suggests genetically engineering humans to be allergic to beef to help fight climate change

We’ve been told over and over that humans need to stop eating meat, specifically beef, and switch to an alternative like cicadas. Between bovine flatulence and clearing land for raising cattle, meat consumption apparently is a big contributor to climate change. Popular Science recently told us how problematic it is to think “beef is manly,” and Epicurious recently announced it was “cutting out beef” in favor of “more climate-friendly foods.”
It’s an old clip, but it’s making the rounds on social media now. Here’s bioethicist S. Matthew Liao suggesting in 2016 that scientists use genetic engineering to make humans allergic to certain kinds of meat.

Antonio García Martínez ~ Anyone with 'ethicist' in their job title is part of the secularized clergy--updated versions of priests and rabbis--but without the centuries of intellectual tradition and wisdom.
{Cont.} Watching them make shit up on the fly is one of those puzzling and depressing rituals of contemporary life.
Watching the reverence with which your basic neoliberal normie treats their pronouncements even more so.
{Cont.} This is a 'bioethicist', and we in the West are apparently living inside a Jonestown cult now.
José Ancer ~ That’s gonna be a hard no from me, dawg.
Speakin' of dawgs ... I know you GA dawgies are already allergic to manly beef ...
... so, who knows ... you might find yourself in agreement with this bioethicist, eh?
Curtis ~ Don’t know where I got the enzyme, but I’m allergic to this video.
The Enemy ~ If you don't want me eating steak, come take it off my plate your goddamn self you coward. I promise you'll end up with a bunch of fork-tong-sized holes in your hand.
And I Haven’t Been to Europe ~ All the recently released, bio-engineered mosquitos are unavailable for comment on this story.
PseudOdysseus ~ Oh great. Just engineer people against their will to get the outcomes you want. What could go wrong?
Spinte.HODL ∞/21M ~ It gets even better: make the people smaller in order to consume less energy.

Spinte.HODL ∞/21M ~ You can't make this s**t up!
