However, there is always just enough mis-information to create a scare. I love my apples crisp and hopefully asthetically appealing. I think I will leave the seed eating to others, and focus on a beautiful apple. We enjoy the safest and most inexpensive food in the world and I am thankful for this fact. Please keep putting out very intelligent information.billytillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685056038321367354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541703279082624205.post-56066160150911967622012-07-17T15:05:23.133-07:002012-07-17T15:05:23.133-07:00Thomas,

There is pollen DNA in all honey and it is a complete non-issue (to us it is a food). There are a great many independent tests for the safety of GMOs in general. As for export, it is no difficulty to keep lots of apples separate. The apple industry already does this all the time because there is a post-harvest anti-scald treatment that is allowed in the US and not in Europe or Japan. Apples come from the field in bar coded bins - identity preservation is the norm.<br /><br />You might like the taste of browned apples.

"Really, really wanted to" you mean like for export? <br />Also what about the bees that eat the pollen and the stuff that will end up in the honey. Where are the safety studies that show this technology is safe; that is, the modified apples are safe for consumption. All for a technology that doesn't show any real benefits. Why not educate people that they can also eat apple pieces that turned brown, taste absolutely fine.thomashttp://www.kuruk.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541703279082624205.post-71223431351494722092012-07-17T09:48:29.874-07:002012-07-17T09:48:29.874-07:00Those of us in the industry who are not fearful of...Those of us in the industry who are not fearful of biotechnology understand the safety precautions inherent in its approval. It is a well known fact that consumers prefer to see nice red apples and tomatoes and won't buy food items that are quick to turn brown or rot. It will be nice to see that these Arctic Apples won't brown after a few minutes on the salad line inside a Sizzler restaurant. Both the consumer and restaurant owner benefits -- it's a win-win.Richardhttp://www.healthyplants.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541703279082624205.post-19946160257796784722012-07-16T13:25:07.817-07:002012-07-16T13:25:07.817-07:00Well said.
