I’d flip it:

If I ran a bacon company and I didn’t have CRISPR pigs I’d advertise in large red print

“CRISPR Free”

Or

“Non-genetically modified”

People are afraid of lab grown meat already, they’ll be terrified of CRISPR meat

My competition won’t be able to advertise the same

Sure. And I'd advertise in large print, "PRRS Virus Free"

Considering the prevalence of PRRSV, it would be difficult for farms with non-CRISPRed pigs to say the same.

Scare tactics can work both ways here.
