Engineering a potato can only be bad.
First potatoes start off mildly poisonous with most of the toxic stuff in the skins. People can tolerate quite a bit of this toxic stuff, but make it toxic enough for critters and it will make people sick too.
See how happy she is? She successfully followed the instructions and stuck the head on the body spike and the feet on the bottom. As someone who was raised on Fried Potatoes and Pinto Beans, I know the difference, what passes for potatoes today, is shameful.
Ask anyone from North Dakota and they will tell you the red skinned potatoes grown there are the best in the world. I can say that I do like them very much and have not found others that are better.
The engineering will be the easy part.
Getting it past the Food Luddites is going to be a tremendous battle.
In all of Africa, with millions starving and hungry, only 4 countries allow life saving GMO wheat. This has gone on for more than a decade.
The Food Luddites have managed to convince the government there it is better to starve the people to death. That’s what they are working for here too.
Well so much for me. I took 3 Kroger Idaho bakers and let the eyes form. Then I cut plugs and put out two 5 gallon buckets with 5-6 plugs in each bucket. Now I have huge plants with blooms and I am expecting a nice yield of Kroger Idaho tates in the fall. :-)
