Caley and MrCoffee, you make great points! I agree I wouldn't want a piece of a word in my veggie platter at a party! That's a downside of the new process I, and I'm sure the manufacturers, didn't think about!

However, I hate those little stickers with a passion. They get stuck everywhere and the adhesive can't be too healthy. Not to mention many foods (i.e., peaches) are damaged when the sticker is removed anyway. The laser etching would also be a nice assurance of the food's country of origin. My only real concern is whether the etching causes the food to become carcinogenic (just speculation, I don't even know if that's plausible). Overall it's pretty cool.

I think I've seen this before, but much less conspicuous. Maybe smaller font wouldn't be so scary. I hate when the sticker gets stuck to my fruit and then peels the skin off! I think it’s great!

When i arrange slices of pepper on a serving tray for guests, I don't want that messing with the aesthetics. But then again, maybe my guests will fight over the piece that says "green pepper."
