Well folks, we’re going straight from Bill Gates’ zombie eggs made in secret laboratories to Franken-banana clones he’s funding with creepy CRISPR-DNA-editing molecules. No, bananas are not facing extinction, but it’s just another excuse to turn a perfectly normal, healthy kind of fruit into a Frankenfood that does God-only-knows-what to the human body.
Yes, scientists are collecting banana disease (Tropical Race 4 or “TR4”) from the soil on plantations and “plucking out” genes so chemical pesticides will kill the pathogens that are damaging the yield, but not the bananas themselves. TR4 is a strain of fungus that lives in the soil and chokes the banana plants of their nutrients and water, while being quite resistant to pesticides. Send in the GMO scientists to mutate and modify, with no safety tests regarding human consumption. Same old story, but a new food on the GM chopping block.
