Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
We're taught that in general, color is more desirable than white in food. This hasn't necessarily been the case for cauliflower, which belies its white color with a nutrition profile similar to its cruciferous siblings, broccoli and cabbage. Cauliflower is high in vitamin C and cancer-fighting antioxidants.
However, thanks to selective breeding (not genetic engineering), cauliflower in different colors are available. They taste the same as white cauliflower, but are just, well, more fun on the plate. Scientists are also claiming that they might be healthier for you than white cauliflower because of the benefits from the compounds that give the vegetables the color.
Healthier than white or not, if its being colorful makes you and your family eat it, that's all the better!

That's genetic engineering, though not always the most efficient approach to the goal. That fact does complicate things for those who like good/evil simplicity in life: "genetic engineering = evil; naturally grown = good." But there it is.
