The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is poised to approve the first genetically engineered apple. The "Arctic Apple®” is engineered for the purely cosmetic purpose of preventing browning after it’s been sliced. Scientists say the technology used to create this new frankenapple is untested and inherently risky.

Unless the USDA heeds consumers, environmentalists and apple growers who are speaking out against deregulation of the Arctic Apple, the first GMO apple could soon turn up in fast-food restaurants, school cafeterias—even baby food. With no labels to warn consumers.

The Arctic Apple poses a risk to human health, a risk to the environment and a risk to conventional and non-organic apple growers.

Most of your apples come from China now, don't worry they just add other things. As far as the not browning, I like that. People now use MSG to stop it. So what is worse MSG or a science apple? If I have no choice, the science apple wins.

I'll buy organic, thank You.  [smile]  Else...  I won't eat the apple.

You changed the game. There is no third or fourth choice so >:(
 
;D You have to eat one cut up apple ;D
 
A) the apple that was soaked in MSG
 
B) The Science Apple from Monsanto
 
You have no other choices, You have to pick one? The Blue pill or the Red pill. No cheating, no changing the rules. Remember I said "If I have no choice"  I won't eat the apple is not a choice!

Well, Deuem, I would not want to eat the apples unless they are unadulterated.  So...will I be forced to eat apples?

z, I recognized everything on that list of Yours except "Val."  Surely not Valium, I would think...
