Bacteria are living things. The genes in vegetables are just protein. Even milk has bacteria. The curd that you make it with is made with the help of bacteria. Curd is eaten during religious festivals and fasts.
Protein is a chemical entity.
It is a molecule. Jerry Caulder, chairman and CEO of Akkadix, whose engineers use biotechnology to increase food production, believes that the engineering of food makes sense. No, rather we're using the intelligence God gave us to figure out how to make plants healthier, last longer and produce more food to feed the population explosion. He argues that taking a gene from one organism and adding it to another does not fundamentally change that organism into anything new. Rabbi Avram Resiner, who teaches bioethics and rabbinic law at Baltimore Hebrew University in Maryland, contends that Jews who keep kosher can eat bio-engineered foods.
