NO. I've already given up all corn except for the stuff grown in my garden from my own seeds. I've given up all soy. Don't make me quit apples too!

No way...leave nature alone!

Thursday July 19, 2012, 11:01 pm
So that's what it is. Yikes!

I got a bag of apples from the store. The outside of the apples seemed strange to me. I kept most of them. Somehow, I just didn't want to eat them. And they didn't get any older or softer or??? finally, I just threw them away.

Seems "they" are determined to handle the problem of over population.

"Ain't they?"
Hey,
There ain't gonna be
any "they"
if they keep this up.

Maybe we better find a way to give up food?

We may be compared to the poor mice who are seduced by the smell of apples, "poisoned apples".

Or, did Snow White's witch sell her recipe for much "moola"?

Is she in congress?

Quick Poll

What do you think? Do we need an apple that never browns?

Browning is safe. Non-browning is not apple.



No -- leave my apple's genetics alone!

Get the FraCK away from my food!

Maybe -- I can see the potential benefit.

current methods of GM ae as dubtle as repairing a watch with a hammer.
make that a 20p hammer.

So, the only use I would have for such FrankenApples is ram them up the ... of the producers

err; read "are as subtle" ...
and you don't have to take MY word for it;
right from the horse's mouth, from a patent-application by MONSANTO(!!!) : " Possibilities to improve a plant by some genetic modification are slim... The effects a specific gene will have...are hardly predictable. Furthermore the success rate of genetic manipulations are low, can hardly be controlled... there's other unwanted effects... " (my amateur. transl. from German: Monsanto auf Deutsch - Die Seilschaften der Gentechnik

Hey, Nancy.

Thanks for the reminder.

Eat food at own risk.

Thursday July 19, 2012, 11:37 pm
Oh for crying out loud...NO. What ever happened to having some "sauce" [as my grandmother would say] and baked or simmered slices?

We bought some yams a few months ago. i thought we had cooked all of them but found four in the pantry a couple of months later...no roots sprouted....nothing. We don't eat most of the wild edibles in the yard because of the chemicals the neighbors use...it's like being in a "Twilight Zone" episode.

"Let us a little permit Nature to take her own way; she better understands her own affairs than we." ― Michel Eyquem de Montaigne 2.28.1533 – S9.13.1592, French Renaissance

"If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is Nature's way." ―Aristotle

“Why should we tolerate a diet of weak poisons, a home in insipid surroundings, a circle of acquaintances who are not quite our enemies, the noise of motors with just enough relief to prevent insanity? Who would want to live in a world which is just not quite fatal?” ― Rachel Carson, Silent Spring

"A lawn is nature under totalitarian rule." ―Michael Pollan

"I am not a lover of lawns. Rather would I see daisies in their thousands, ground ivy, hawkweed, and even the hated plantain with tall stems, and dandelions with splendid flowers and fairy down, than the too-well-tended lawn." ―W.H. Hudson, The Book of a Naturalist, 1919

If you can eat the whole apple at once, share!!! If thatś not possible, sprinkle a little spiced sugar and have it for desert or on pancakes for breakfast.

Thanks Nancy. Noted and no. This is another good reason why I grow just about everything I eat.

Some have ideas of food as plastic items with a taste. Let us have real food.

Friday July 20, 2012, 8:50 am
Hell NO!!! God knows what they did to keep it from ageing...uuggggg!!!

Friday July 20, 2012, 9:54 am
NO! It would be an even bigger waste than a REAL apple that turned brown, as not only would I NOT eat the poison apple, I wouldn't even compost it.

Friday July 20, 2012, 10:36 am
Until they can prove that we won't all be growing extra digits or dropping dead from a new cancer, NO.

Friday July 20, 2012, 3:33 pm
It's called real food when they do that.

Utter idiocy! If it doesn't brown - how will you tell that it is too old to eat (should you be that foolish) - will it decompose in the ground or will it just sit there like so much chemical waste - yikes! Never. Ever. Ever.

Saturday July 21, 2012, 7:50 am
Definitely NO. What's wrong with apples turning brown after a few minutes ? They turned brown for centuries and nobody died from eating brown apples. Latest here in Europe - flat peaches. They are marketed as old, newly discovered. Will not touch them either. Regardless how they are promoted.

Saturday July 21, 2012, 12:46 pm

Make a conscious choice and start buying organic food. You don't need a new smart phone or materialistic things. The media and society has brainwashed people into thinking we need things that we don't. Save your money and spend it on things that are important.
