stop freaking out. Jesus. It's just a gene in a vegetable. Oh no, we're all going to die because the genes are edited. Did you know that everything you eat affects your DNA? Everything you consume modifies your body in some way. Also, don't you remember that we all die within 80 to 120 years of our lifespan? So who cares. Maybe some day they'll be able to make broccoli taste like cotton candy for people like you.

Haha. Welcome to Hubski as of an hour ago. Did you join just to tell me not to freak out?

My comment wasn't personal to me. I'm not "freaking out". I don't have personal feelings about GMO either way. I just summarized the article. The only part I added was that commercial prospects don't look good based on how it's getting received. This new process will likely have a PR problem to become commercially viable.
