Foods can turn us to Zombies!.. haha isn't that great :3

There's been quite a ruckus in the news recently about Genetically Modified Food. The subject raises a number of questions....is it safe? Is it cheap? Is it tasty? Is it ethical? Will eating modified food turn us all into rabid mutant zombies? hahaha XD.. Personally, I think the answers are 'yes', 'no', 'probably', 'who cares?', and 'dur!?.., I hope so, just to spice things up a little around here'. Not necessarily in that order, of course.

At any rate, I'm all for fiddling with our food's DNA. We already cross-breed crops, shoot livestock full of growth juice, and pretty up the results with food coloring and pretty packaging. Why not just cut to the chase and engineer the stuff the way we want it in the first place? And as long as we're going to the trouble, let's go all the way. Forget adding a vitamin here or a hormone there; we're at the top of the food chain, so let's start acting like it. With that in mind, I have a few specific suggestions on modifications I'd like to see: YEAH! >:3

Cows that milk themselves: Think of all the trouble we've gone to over the years to squeeze the moo juice out of the big beasts. Farmers get up before dawn for it, which is inconvenient at best....and how do you think the cows feel about it? You think your doctor has cold hands? Just imagine if your exam was at five in the morning, in your bedroom, and concentrated largely on the nipples? That's not good for anyone. And those big, expensive milking machines....what a waste of effort. Why don't we just finagle the cows to do it themselves? Engineer an arm or two down there; maybe even a funnel of some kind to help out. It just seems easier all around.

Rice in designer colors: I think everyone's bored of the same tired old white rice. Brown rice is okay (hmm like bico?.. :P), but it's not particularly exciting. Nobody gets a rush when they see plain old rice on the plate. But what if it were green and red, to match the side salad? Or the same subtle gold as your meat steak? Or neon blue, wakokok....just because it can be? Now that's an idea I can sink my teeth into. Maybe we could even manage to give the stuff some taste, while we're at it.

Ultra huge chicken??.. Everybody loves chicken drumsticks, right? So let's grow the birds that way in the first place....tasty legs for everyone! Presuming we can catch the chicken, of course.

These are just a few suggestions. If we're really committed to this, anything's possible....self-peeling oranges, potatoes the size of watermelons, vegetables that looks like mega veins or uber HUGE Bananas haha XD. And isn't that worth the risk of turning into a zombie? meh ghed! >:3
