I told her about an article I read that cows today can produce 50 times more milk in a day than it used to because of the advancements of genetics and technology. I would joke at my sister that at least technologists wouldn’t spend time re-engineering pigs than they do with cows (I don’t know of any side effects it has on cows and those that consume them).
