This is almost exactly what Sun are doing in their next generation CPUs. Taking multiple simple cores and stuffing 8 of them onto a single die.
I believe they are based on UltraSparc II based cores with support for 4 threads per CPU added.
On specific types of tasks the Sun CPUs are going completely toast any x86 system.
I'm not sure about Saccharic but I agree on irradiated food (probably) not being dangerous.
On GM foods I have to disagree, nobody understands how genetics really works so the side effects are completely unknown and are potentially dangerous - as whistle blowers from within the industry have shown.
For some very good reading on the subject go read this:

...by people who know what they are talking about.
