Nothing sours the microwaved burrito experience faster than biting into half-thawed, soggy corners or scalding, white phosphorus centers. And so, in spite of mankind's many technical achievements, rolled tortilla entrees still perplex our greatest minds.The microwave is equipped with a simple infrared camera that produces a heat map of your food so you can tell when it's done, and also so you have something to watch while reflecting on whatever past mistakes have reduced you to eating microwaved burritos. 4951

When you look at an apple slice and notice that it's starting to brown, the hungry caveman inside of you (correctly) says, "There's nothing wrong with it; eat with confidence. Also, the Sun is God's giant ineffable birthday candle burning for all eternity." Compare that to contemporary you, who whines, "Ewwww." Apparently, the second voice wins a lot more often, because food wastage is getting to be a real problem. The same thing happens with potatoes, which bruise about as often as skateboarders and end up in the garbage because of such concern for aesthetics.So in an attempt to stop people from throwing away perfectly good (albeit gross-looking) food, the FDA has approved a line of genetically-modified apples and potatoes that retain a clear complexion much longer than their natural brethren. Arctic apples and Innate potatoes (free indie band names, by the by) have been deemed safe for consumption by the FDA and a non-threat to other plants by the Department of Agriculture. Spliced into existence by Okanagan Specialty Fruits, the apple's non-browning properties will hopefully increase its appeal, even though Americans are unlikely to notice the difference after caramel is applied. 4951

Allergy-Free PeanutsModern society has a huge hard-on for peanuts. People use the highly nutritious treats to prevent birth defects, shave, and even for eating. This, of course, is a bit of an inconvenience for the 2.8 million Americans who are allergic to the unassuming legume.But what could we possibly do to fix this? Create hypoallergenic peanuts, somehow? Well, yeah. It's 2015 after all.See, the allergic reaction that reduces your body to hives and snot is triggered by a variety of peanut-centric proteins. This is actually a blessing in disguise, since shutting down proteins is a relatively easy procedure: The researchers simply soaked peanuts in an enzyme that smashes through proteins' cell walls and wrecks **** like a tiny Juggernaut. This reduced the allergic quality of peanuts by freaking 98-100 percent, with no other side effects. Frankly, it's kind of embarrassing that no one gave enough of a damn to try this until now. 4951

Allergy- free peanuts would be great for my dd. Although I'm kind of scared of any food being genetically altered. 4951

food being genetically altered.
 
@sweetie: Not genetically altered, an enzyme dissolves the proteins that cause the allergy.
