But the technology is here and scientists are going to use it. Just look at the Large Hadron Collider. There was serious concern on the part of some scientists that by looking for the Higgs Bosun particle, the scientists running the experiment might actually create microscopic black holes and strange matter, which could have resulted in the end of the world. The scientists at CERN went ahead anyway. I often feel that we have little control over these type of things. In this particular instance, since I take supplements anyway, I don't feel as badly about the genetic manipulation to improve the nutritional value of food. However, creating a need for certain pesticides or fertilizers is just wrong. I'm not sure, when push comes to shove, if I'd actually buy the product. But the science sounds intriguing. Hi Vegyogini, I keep telling Jane blueberry muffins are a great way to incorporate frozen blueberries in our diet! :-) Hi Kim & Earthmother,

I would eat a big bowl of them plain every day if I could. However, like Jane, frozen blueberries don't excite me. I'll try to incorporate them more into my diet, though, as I know they are outrageously nutritious. :) Fresh blueberries are literally my favorite food.

As for the tomato: <b>don't mess with Mother Nature!</b> Perhaps She didn't make them purple for a reason. I’m a blueberry lover too!

That sounds too Monsanto-like and makes me uncomfy. I really don’t like the idea of inserting genes into tomatoes. That sounds too Monsanto-like and makes me uncomfy.
