Glad to hear it, Robert!
I loved these suggestions, Thanks! But I would like to point put that GMO foods are so far perfectly safe. It’s often being confused with chemically treated crops, but GMO crops are safe and have prevented mass starvations and famines. All they do is take cells from a crop, say for instance one that is prone to drout. They use certain types of bacteria, organisms that have been known to be able to transfer genes, and give the bacteria a gene that is good against drout. They then pass the bacteria to the cell, and cell recieves this DNA. Then they let the cell cultures grow and produce. They are basically just speeding up the evolution process and natural selection to breed better crops. Of course it’s a newer science and it’s possible there are risks we won’t know for a long time, but the potential for this science is beautiful and extremely interesting.
These are great suggestions. Can you please tell me where these snacks may be purchased?
