Of course the people redesigning the fruit and nut genetics must wear a helmet, knee pads, elbo pads, and safety goggles in case they trip or take a nut off their eye.

Hot dogs are the #1 choke hazards for children. What child should die of a hot dog? But 100s of children die each year from choking on hot dogs. A lot of children die of choking because their throats are little and they are learning too chew. I made sure me and any member of my family took child cpr.
We have used it.....twice.
Think it doesn't happen?
I have never seen such immaturity on a thread.
There is a difficult age between when a child starts chewing food, and because they are learning to eat. And you can't leave them for a second in case they choke. YOu can't even give a child things like grapes, candy, and nuts until they are at least 3-4 years old, just for this reason.
Just like they fall, a lot, learning how to walk. They choke, as they learn how to eat.
Also young children do not have all their teeth, and have to gum a lot of their food.

Why not just consider the hot dog "phallic", and therefor, adult in nature?
