mmm, salsa...i would watch the clips but i don't like to turn up the sound on my computer and i don't have earphones. but i'm interested in knowing more about GMOs!

oooh bubbies! yes we usually get the 12-pack with 6 different flavors.
i thought of growing a salsa garden, with tomatoes, peppers, etc. why dont gmos make salsa plants? they can cross genes of like 5 different plants and all you'd need to do is juice the fruit of this salsa plant and you'd have salsa. well, so much for gmos!

yeah i dont think monsanto will wanna take a risk with my patented salsa plant (a friend of mine had an even better idea for a GMO, but it is confidential and still in the research stage). anyway, i'm buying anything labeled non-gmo, i noticed tofu is often labeled. (business who use gm crops are not required to label their products!) scary!
