Re: Gear Grinding 9: I Need a Wine!
NPR had a thing on about that at one point that was very even handed. More about how it will affect diversity than it is unhealthful.
Also heard a verrrrry interesting thing on about how the genetically engineered/hybridization has bred things to be seedless and plumper. This apparently encourages the plants to increase the sugar content and decrease the fiber content in the fruits. Natural fruits used to be smaller and less tasty but more nutrient filled. Over time we have bred them to be sweeter and seedless. THey figured this out looking at zoo animals who do very poorly natural fruits/veggies. They need to feed them specially formulated pellets or they have issues.
