Quote: " Computational biologists and supercomputers can drastically accelerate the pace at which promising new strains of cocoa trees come out of the greenhouse, from the traditional length of five to seven years down to 18 months or so, Dr. Shapiro said. "

Tomatoes tasting like cardboard

Potatoes tasting instant before even being it.
