@ksenapathy @ArcticApples we can make apples resist browning when sliced: dip in lemon juice. A silly use of invasive tech

@JodiKoberinski @ksenapathy @ArcticApples We don't know what that would do to our DNA though! No lemon safety testing ever done!

@Bigsmiffy438 @ksenapathy @ArcticApples safety testing in diet? Thousands of years of experimentation, refinement.

@ksenapathy @Bigsmiffy438 which is why skeptical of these technologies + encourage open-pollinated breeding :) mutagenics esp bad idea imho

@ksenapathy @Bigsmiffy438 some of these techniques could be useful to elucidate processes- doesn't mean we ought to eat the results.

@ksenapathy @Bigsmiffy438 deep concerns from nutritional community that hybridization cost us nutrients to get uniformity, size, comm specs
