  It's an ad, and also kind of like calling making yourself french fries a "McDonald's-style process". Genetics is both popular-culture topic and part of high school curriculum nowadays, so it doesn't need too hard explaining, and the kind of person that wouldn't understand the explanation probably also doesn't know what 23andMe is (which reinforces this being a sneaky ad).

      Hah, sorry. I was taught that this was the correct universal way of calling this type of food across all varieties of English.

  just to be clear, I think the rest of the article is fascinating and nothing else immediately disturbed me about it, it's just feedback in case the author checks HN
