I would compare this to the chemicals pumped into animals to make them grow bigger in industrial meat factories.

It's explaining what GMO's are and their pros/cons. Why are you inferring there has to be an issue in the video/topic?

I do a lot of drugs and nothing is wrong with me, so why should I care about animals doing drugs.
Drugs are cool
Gonna revise your Levi's with physical harm

The Senate: Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise?
Anakin: No
The Senate: I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.
Anakin: He could actually save people from death?
The Senate: The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
Anakin: What happened to him?
The Senate: He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
Anakin: Is it possible to learn this power?
The Senate: Not from a Jedi.

It's inhumane that is the problem. Some of these animals grow so fast that their legs can't hold their body. They use Synthetic Growth Hormones. Also, these animals need antibiotics because no one wants to clean up the shit they live in. If they weren't given antibiotics, they would die much quicker. However, some livestock can form resistance from those antibiotics and can pass it on. Then scientists need to make a new antibiotic to stop that and its just an ongoing cycle.

In the end, I don't know about you but I'd rather eat something that doesn't have growth hormones or antibiotics that could potentially be toxic to humans.
