They hope that adding the vegetable to a normal diet could help ward off conditions such as brittle bone disease and osteoporosis.
How about this idea, don't screw around with the food, okay, just leave it alone. I don't want your genetically modified monster vegetables. Everything is fine just the way it is. Try eating normal food and leave it at that.
