But anyway, people aren't divided into health nutiness and completely-indifferentness groups. There's always the inbetweeners. Basically, most everything you eat is somewhat modified, or processed, or whatever. Even fruits and vegetables, which are genetically engineered. And the genetically engineered stuff seems to have no bad effects so far! If anything, it helpsEveryone seems to be ignoring this
Ahem. Particularly that first sentence.

This if from Wikipedia on MSG:
The "MSG symptom complex" was originally termed as the "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" when Robert Ho Man Kwok reported symptoms of patients who consumed American-Chinese cuisine. Kwok suggested multiple possible reasons behind the symptoms that these subjects were experiencing, including: alcohol from cooking with wine, the sodium content, or the seasoning of MSG. Despite these other suggestions, MSG became the focus and the symptoms that were described have been associated with this food additive ever since.[16] Concerns have been raised on anecdotal grounds, and hypotheses have been put forward, that MSG may be associated with migraine headaches,[17] food allergies in children,[18] obesity,[19] and hyperactivity in children.[20] A report from the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) compiled in 1995 on behalf of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded that MSG is safe for most people when "eaten at customary levels". However, it also said that, based on anecdotal reports, some people may have an MSG intolerance that causes "MSG symptom complex" and/or a worsening of asthmatic symptoms.[21] Subsequent research found that, while large doses of MSG given without food may elicit more symptoms than a placebo in individuals who believe that they react adversely to MSG, the frequency of the responses was low and the responses reported were inconsistent, not reproducible, and not observed when MSG was given with food.[22] No statistical association has been demonstrated under controlled conditions, even in studies with people convinced that they are sensitive to it.[22][23][24][25] Adequately controlling for experimental bias includes a double-blind placebo-controlled (DBPC) experimental design and the application in capsules because of the strong and unique after-taste of glutamates.[23] In a study performed by Tarasoff and Kelly (1993) 71 fasting participants were given 5 g of MSG and then administered a standard breakfast. There was only one reaction, and it was to the placebo in a self-identified MSG sensitive individual.[16] In a different study done by Geha et al. (2000), they tested the reaction of 130 subjects that reported sensitivity to MSG. Multiple DBPC trials were performed and only subjects with at least two symptoms proceeded. Only 2 people out of the whole study responded in all four challenges. Because of this low prevalence, the researchers concluded that the response to MSG was not reproducible.[26] Additional studies that have looked into whether MSG causes obesity have given mixed results.[27][28] There have been several studies investigating an anecdotal link between MSG and asthma; current evidence does not support any causal association.[29] Since glutamates are important neurotransmitters in the human brain, playing a key element in learning and memory, there is ongoing study by neurologists about possible side–effects of MSG in food but no conclusive studies saying there are any connections.
MSG, like almost any food, is harmful in large quantities, not something like two cookies a day.

Ok, this is the thing, they might have the original seeds, but it would take AGES to get those seeds back again, probably like twenty years (the number of years GMO seeds have been around).

Yep! I have absolutely no idea how to solve it...my teachers read all the challenges and then one kid asked, "So what do we do?"
