Is it acceptable to genetically modify animals in order to produce enough cheap meat to feed the growing population?

There are certainly those who believe that it is immoral to eat animals, but even if that were true, there does not seem to be any reason why it would be more offensive to eat genetically modified animals than it is to eat the animals that we already have (which are also highly modified by millennia of selective breeding, from their original state in the wild). I can think of a number of reasons why the world's growing population should eat a vegetarian diet rather than eating animals, genetically modified or not. However, I would not say that genetic modification is unacceptable. I will accept it.
