  some people don't like brassica...

  I'm a super-taster - so the flavor and aroma of almost all brassica make me want to retch. I've gotten to be somewhat less-so over the years, but when I was a kid I would never eat any brassica or niteshades besides potatoes. Getting nutrition into people (esp kids) is as much about what is available as it is about what a person will actually consume. There are certainly other ways to get calcium than an early-model gm carrot - but if that carrot was as nutritious as broccoli, spinach, and soybeans combined then it would be alot easier for people like to get proper nutrition - from eating some as "real" as a carrot.

  Since brassica and carrot grow side-by-side in the garden, I'm not so nervous about moving a gene or two between them. Night-glow carrots with jellyfish genes are a little freaky - the equivalent of a slight cross between carrots and spinach is not so frightening...On New superfood is higher in press-release fluff and poor journalism than your average carrot posted 1 year, 9 months ago 9 Responses
