If our ability to modify ourselves reaches sci fi levels, allowing us to photosynthesize and fix amino acids from nitrogen in the atmosphere (or if there's any hope of making that happen), then that likely will be the new vegan position.

Photosynthesis would probably not work too well for people who aren't outside a lot. But there might be other possibilities.

Sounds like a good way to incentivise touching some grass.

I know you're being flippant, but I do like the idea of coming up with a variety of ways for humans to get food which don't require life at all. Finding a way to make a construction worker photosynthetic but also finding a way for an office worker to be chemosynthetic. Hydrogen and methane are in abundance on the planet and bacteria can use them as food. Maybe one day we can too

I agree, those things would be desirable.
