Frankenfood Potato

They do some crazy things in Idaho. Remember the Idaho Potato promotion truck wandering around the country in TV commercials, failing to come home? Now a company in Boise has genetically modified the DNA of the tuber and it has been approved for commercial planting by the U.S. Government.

They say the spud was genetically engineered to reduce the amounts of acrylamide, a supposedly harmful ingredient, which is suspected of but not proven to cause cancer in people when the potato is fried.

The  new potato is made by the J. R. Simplot Company, a privately held company, which made $billions supplying frozen French fries to McDonald’s since the 1960s. 

There is a whole new wave of genetically modified crops that are supposed to benefit consumers, not just to farmers including widely grown biotech crops like herbicide-tolerant soybeans and corn. 

Watch out for genetically engineered non-browning apples, developed by Okanagan Specialty Fruits, which are awaiting regulatory approval.

  Frankenfoods are not approved in Europe and many countries now refuse
  import of American genetically modified foods and grains.


  Even modified wheat does a body harm according to the best selling book 
  "Wheat Belly" written by William Davis a doctor in Milwaukee.

  The book gives a simple but powerful explanation regarding the proteins   and other things in modern wheat that promote the rampage of diabetes 
  and obesity in Western Culture.
