A New Zealand concern called Crop and Food Research said on its Web site that it had created a tearless onion by turning off the gene that produces the enzyme that causes a person slicing an onion to cry. It hopes it can hit the market within a decade. The breakthrough was featured in the December issue of Onion World, the international onion trade journal.
Now all they need to do is invent an onion that doesn’t taste like an onion. Mix it with the one that doesn’t make you cry and then decide never to make onions at all. This would make me happy. Very happy. I don’t like onions.

Yes this is some crazy shit!
I like onions. I also like contact lenses which are the ultimate enzyme blocker. Jeez, why not just sell contact lenses with bags of onions and save all the effort involved with stupid research?
I know somebody who eats onions like apples. I saw her bite into the damn thing and say ‘Mmmmm…’
