GMO Arctic Apples, Innate Potatoes, FDA Approval

The FDA has approved genetically engineered "Arctic apples" that do not brown and "Innate potatoes" designed to resist bruising and produce less acrylamide when fried. The hosts criticize these modifications for prioritizing aesthetics and shelf-life over flavor and nutrition. They note that while the government claims they are safe, the World Health Organization recently classified glyphosate—used on many GMO crops—as a probable carcinogen.
