Cooks Don't Cry No More

Onions make you cry when you cook? Here are some researchers and genetic docs figuring out how to eliminate that from your favorite veggie. I know *I* don't enjoy the acidity of onions when I chop the suckers up for my soups or crock pot. And even worse, forgetting you have the onion juice on your fingers when you wipe your weeping eyes. Ouch!

All I know is, everytime people start screwing around majorly with a defining characteristic of a vegetable or fruit, what usually results (when it isn't bred out the usual way) is bland, tasteless, or simply not what it was. (well, duh)

Yeah, I don't like crying over onions either but I really really don't like when we mess too much with stuff like this.
