Handpicked plenty but not that variety and not in Vermont, I'll take it under advisement! Also, I can recommend trying local varieties of fruit in general when traveling, there are mangos and others that won't survive shipping that are much better than the kinds you can get far away from where they are grown.
If the GMO label is broad enough to apply to all applicable methods, it'll end up like CA cancer warnings and be on everything. If it isn't broad enough, they'll use slightly-different-than-CRISPR to avoid the label ad infinitum, staying just ahead of the regulations.
Some of the newer apple varieties are quite tasty, while certainly there's money in making the products more shelf stable, there's even more money in shelf stable + as tasty as garden tomatoes.
This isn't putting fruit fly genes in your grapes, this is editing the grape genome with intention rather than depending on blind luck. The other produce at the store you're eating was mutated with radiation, unless you're only eating heirloom varieties.
For the peanut butter example, you can get peanut butter at a farmer's market that is just ground peanuts. If you buy Jiff it has a bunch of other stuff. If you buy Peter Pan it is roughly equivalent to Jiff. They follow industry standards for ingredients and shelf life, etc. If I make an opaque brown emulsion of soy bean oil and wheat flour, flavored with some peanut essential oil, can I call it peanut butter? (the answer is No, courtesy trade associations by peanut farmers) Sure, you could tell it was crap if you read the fine print on the label, but if we make them be honest on that label, why not the big label too? Is it dumb to expect some level of trust that the major portion of the label isn't disingenuous when there are otherwise so many rules about food production? I'm not worried about rules to prohibit labeling your box of NaNO3 "Salt" and selling it next to the NaCl and letting Darwin filter out people that skipped chemistry leading to Idiocracy.
Enforcing trade names in food matters at least a little. I guess for a while people were selling 'prepared guacamole' that did not contain avocado. Similarly, being able to call a product 'peanut butter' has rules. For stuff like vegetable milk, you occasionally hear professionals trying to keep people informed that they aren't equivalent to animal milk when it comes to feeding young children. I think the last jug of coconut milk I bought had such a warning on the carton.
Yeah a guy that makes Chrome browser extensions for a living doesn't want to see them broken up, even if they can crush his business at will with a patch anymore than the guy that writes How to Use Excel books really wants LibreOffice to be a market equal and force him to write two books.
The relative amounts of such things are how you know humans were there. Your statement is like saying finding a human skeleton doesn't indicate a settlement because they could have been a vagrant who washed up from a Peloponnesian shipwreck and was dragged inland by a hungry jaguar. Surely the scientists can tell a puff of wild maize from the layer sustained agriculture would create...
Its probably a reaction to stuff royalty did; I bet it used to be pretty easy to hang a political rival for treason and take his land back in the day if you were the crown.
I've worked places where we increased the prices on some items, advertised the new price, and increased sales on stuff that had been cheaper the week before but merely not been heavily promoted.
I'd bet this is just vertical integration that they are selling to others. The sales pitch is going to be "you're running all your cloud stuff on this hardware already"
You brag about the superiority of the stuff they know you have e.g. drones and smart munitions. Not the stuff you have no reason to believe they know you have, like those stealth helicopters or whatever they were.
Indeed! I once had some corrupt files that would hang Explorer when it tried to read their metadata... Notepad's file open dialog didn't have any trouble deleting them and that was that.
How would you tariff software? They'd just compile it in a local subsidiary or whatever, physical goods at least have the inconvenience of moving a factory.
Most of the "serious" proposals I've seen to abolish ICE would devolve its enforcement powers to other agencies who handled these things before ICE was created. Nominally, this would purge the personnel complicit in the unsavory activities.
I would imagine this would be used to help pinpoint the experiment parameters for the in vivo testing, rather than completely eliminate it. That'd still cut down on a lot of cost and animal usage.

Very true! But radiation is 'scary' , so I like to point out how the current 'normal' baseline food varieties were made.

Yeah I don't think there's much consumer market for networking switches, this is the beginning of vertical integration for Amazon.

In their defense, they thought the backdoor was secure because it only took Cyrillic characters for input.
Well yeah, configure a phone and then look up the costs of flash memory...

If you can pay addicts to buy Sudafed for you while showing their driver's license, I'm sure they'll buy gift cards for you, too.
The grocery store turns cash into Amazon gift cards pretty easily.

It probably does, but you can sit in a jail a long time waiting for the appeals judge to apply precedent...

Well you'd at least have time to pour yourself a tall glass of gin or something

Never underestimate the usefulness of Windows built-in crapware when making do on a super locked down machine!
