Just a few years ago, I saw data stating that nearly 50% of all
prescription drugs start with precursors of plant origin. I believe they
meant that half of all prescriptions filled utilize a medication that is
initially of plant origin rather than 50% of the different marketed
medications utilize plants as a starting material for the synthetic
process.

A lot of chemical drugs are made by biotech processes that essentially
grow a yeast in a high efficiency vat. The yeast has had its DNA modified
to include a gene for making the specific chemical under question. This
makes a very accurate reproduction that can be made very cheaply and very
rapidly leaving the fermenter ready to make something else in just a
couple of days.

Only a relatively small number of medications are made by fermentation
processes (antibiotics) or recombinant technologies (large proteins for
injection).

How?

You'd figure that just about everything you pee has
carbon in it no?

Misleading to say the least... The primary component of urine is water.
Depending on hydration, inorganics can be major components. But there certainly
are components in urine that contain carbon: urea, creatinine, uric acid, sundry
metabolites, etc.

This is not a drill. This is an actual LIVEDRUNK ALERT! Please attend to this
very important matter immediately.

Ah, yes. The DRUNK-signal. Hold my beer and watch this:

Tom, I don't believe in perfect markets, but I do believe the markets
are perfect enough that if two-buck chuck could be made to taste like a
grand cru via a multi-day GM yeast process, then it would be so.

I would qualify your claim in two ways. First, please define "that
stuff" a little more precisely. Second, your claim qualifies as
extraordinary. Please present the extraordinary evidence of its verity.
If your claim is not extraordinary, please present the widespread and
mundane evidence that supports it.

A sample of the GM 2-day plonk for testing would qualify as
extraordinary evidence,

Ryan,

Do not question Tom on the practicality of making
quick-rising wine with genetically modified yeast.
Because Tom Kunich worked for the company that
invented wine.

But, really, how surprising is that? He also invented the whine.

There's a special on at the Kunich 2nd hand bike garage, you get a free
case of genetically engineered wine and a free Phonak cell phone with
every bike.

There must be a prototype word processor or two in there also.

It's behind the racing motorcycles, but you're going to have
to move a liquid chromatography mass spectrometer to
get at it.

Yeah, I forgot about the factory Hondas...
