The distinctive purple color means that "it takes no imagination to see that it's different," Pumplin said. "It really allows people to make a choice."In the past, forays into genetically modified foods have often focused on engineering crops that are more sustainable to produce, he added.

At the same time, "GMOs are not a silver bullet," he said. "It's one tool in our toolbox as plant scientists, as scientists, agronomists, to improve the food production system."
No thanks

Bill Gate will poison us all!
What does it taste like? Greenhouse tomatoes? No thanks to GMO’s
