What's funny about the comment to use onion goggles (which don't seem to work for me), is that on the onion goggle post, most people thought they were a waste of time and that those of us with issues should just suck it up.

But I guess the alternative is scarier.

I think the salient point here is this:

"This is an exciting project because it's consumer orientated and everyone sees this as a good biotechnology story," he said.

Also, I love to cook and I love onions, and this actually does seem like something useful for those of us with extremely sensitive reactions to sulfur. My eyes burn for almost a half an hour after chopping them (which I know sounds ridiculous, but it honestly feels like kitten claws in my eyeballs). As long as I can still get the variety of tasty onions I like to eat that won't, you know, give you cancer, I don't see why this is a bad thing.

You guys are, as always, the best :)

This is amazing! I'll ask what I'm sure everyone's thinking -- will prints of this ever be available for sale?
