I have often wondered, where the salmonella in fresh fruit & veggies comes from. I remember talking to a bio-engineer that used to work for the big food company my hubby worked for. He told me that during the bio-engineering of fruits and veggies that DNA from other life forms are used-(his example)lets say you want a peach that is sub-zero resistant, you may find that characteristic in a particular deep water fish, you would then harvest the Deep-ocean fish DNA and implant it into the peach DNA using a bacteria carrier. The DNA integrates into the peach DNA but now you also have the bacteria still in the cell, so you use a anti-biotic to kill the bacteria leaving you with the new integrated DNA-from this you develop the sub-zero resistant peach.
Sounded ghoulish then, sounds ghoulish now, but it makes ya wonder doesn’t it what they are doing when they fiddle with things like that?
Any bio-genetitist out there? Did I get it right?
