Today, genetic engineers are trying to create the bread of the future. It is likely that after some time we will have 3D food printers in our kitchens that will be able to "print" buns, loaves or confectionery. True, scientists are convinced that only part of the components for the "printer" will be chemical, and the rest of the components will continue to be grown on earth. At the same time, some researchers believe that genetic engineering may turn out to be a "Pandora's box", while others are sure that it is no longer possible to do without it.
