You can check my post history for these type of comments and will notice that it is rare for me to comment on this. It's not even about being vegan, i just do not see how this is uplifting news. The science portion of this article is quite insightful and i think it's placed quite well in a science community, but increasing the yield of factory farms is nothing uplifting in my opinion. If there was an article "new food allows chicken to grow twice as fast and twice as fat before slaughtering" i would react the same way, because it would realistically not result in less animals being slaughtered but would only result in more cheap meat consumption. And this is nothing uplifting in my opinion.

It's not even just about increasing yield. It's about less disease, which means less spreading it to local, wild populations. This is a good thing.
