And that food has to support the human body, thus we are not making
the food better for the food's own sake we are doing to make our
bodies better or rather allow them to run at peak performance.
Although as Brett said any GMing is usually done for the manufacturers
rather than for consumers.

Personally, if they grew fruit that produced whatever the active
ingrediant in gingko biloba is, along with piracetam and modafinil
then I'd buy it rather than having to pop numerous pills everyday ;D
