    That makes it sound like the “edible” aspect of this is just an anti idiot feature. *Or just “printed” on it.

    Either way, pointless article.

      I believe regulations require that everything you put in or on food is technically editable. Like the paper stickers on bread or produce. They are disgusting, but if you or your child accidentally eats them, they are fine.

      Alex Jones will yell about the headline and say Soros is microchipping food and if you eat cheese the 5g vaccine will do a false flag and turn the frogs even gayer.

          You’re completely right, but it’s also highlighted when people on the internet discuss things they know nothing about but decide to become very sarcastic against “the other side.”

          smug superiority indeed. many examples in this very thread.
