It’s so hard for me to find unbiased stuff about GMOs, so thanks MissNikki. Food’s getting really complicated now with artificial meat being introduced...

I put powder first, then sugar, then a bit of cold water, mix and meanwhile I heat the milk. It's not as many steps as one might think ;) Actually, heating the milk takes three times longer than me mixing the stuff XD


I've given up about GMOs because everything is GMO nowadays and I can't possibly avoid it. Especially some foods without additives are just not as tasty. I have a comparison to some fruits that my grandma gets from her summer house, but then again, it's not really a comparison if it's not the same type of e.g. grapes. On the other hand, our grapes were never meant for wine (which I suppose would have a different taste), just for eating, so they should be fine in taste, but they aren't XD Or maybe there's something else we're doing wrong :mcheh:
Also, without the additives, the plants are more likely to get some sickness and then the fruits/veggies go bad even in the ground/on the bush/tree. And they do grow smaller, that's for sure.
So far we're not dying by the thousands from GMO-induced sickness each year, right? Or wrong? Idk any statistics XD

I always thought of GMOs as controlled mutations. I mean mutations happen naturally, but we don’t freak out about them until they’re man-made, apparently.

Plot twist they are wine grapes but someone mislabeled them

Or maybe they're juice grapes

I’m not too sure if they were GMO, but we used to have both pears and oranges in our backyard. Both were very tasty, but both plants got sick and had to be removed. The fruits were huge, though.

...I’ve seen Asian pears. Are Korean pears different? I never learned Chinese so I can’t read the signs. XD

Looked kinda like one too
And tasted like a nutty apple
