What they’ve started to do fairly recently, is take a bacteria, and take the DNA out of it that causes the bacteria to be toxic to potato bugs. Maybe humans too? They take that DNA, and they splice it into the potato. The potato is then mostly potato, and part bacteria. And, the part of the bacteria in the potato is the poison part.
“Great potato huh? Maybe, can we put some poison in it? Keep the potato bugs from eating it? Why not?”
I don’t want potato bug poison, spliced in from a bacteria, in my potato.
Potatoes are really really cheap. I don’t see why there’s this big drive on to make the price of potatoes cheaper?

More importantly, I don’t want fake potato DNA mixing into mine.
