We know how stomachs work, we know the enzymes in their saliva, and we can even select the best gut bacteria for the best taste, stick it all in a warm bath for a few days and you’ll get the same thing.

It would be great. My guess is, as with many things, it’s just more profitable to use the very simple manufacturing process in low cost countries

Gotcha, it’s cheaper to exploit something/someone than to do it ethically. Yet, once it is produced in mass, I’m sure it can be sold at way higher volume and thus sell at a higher revenue stream. Especially once the process is effectively efficient and cheaply done. However, the bump in upfront cost from exploiting for short-term gain to this is rather large. If only there was a relatively community driven system that already takes a percentage of people’s income to lessen the cost or burden for such services as a way to incentivize ethical processes…
