    It would already be awesome if we could hack or genetically engineer our gut biome to produce all needed vitamins and proteins out of carbohydrates and fats. Theoretically then we could live just off of sugar or oil. Plus some minerals.

      Right? And can we get some kind of metering system so we don’t pack on extra fat?

      People are afraid of a cybernetic future but I’m sitting here wondering just how healthy we can make the human body.
