    Out of the mouths of babes...

    The news this morning indicated that emulsifiers (a common additive in processed foods) lead to digestive disorders and obesity.

    Science is clearly chipping-away at our staples.

    So a guy was in the shop with his approx. 6-8 year old daughter at about noon. The daughter asks if they can go to McDonalds next. He says, "no, we can't eat any processed foods, they make us fat." So clearly he had seen the same news story. And we got to talking about it.

    So I looked at his daughter and asked "no carbs, no emulsifiers, whatever can we eat?" I was expecting something like "vegetables" or something.

    And without hesitation she said, "we can eat people."

    And that, my friends, is the path to Soylent Green.

    If I hear of any food projects at Google or Apple, I'm going to be very suspicious.

    Even talking to most people leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

    They say clowns taste funny.

    The guy told me his daughter gets ideas like eating people from watching "The Walking Dead."

    She was just a little kid. I was a bit surprised she'd watch that program.

    There was no end of surprises in that conversation.

    Just remember that you ingest whatever the organism ingested, that u r eating
    this is the very reason why grain fed livestock is so very different, esp in metabolic terms-cholesterol, diabetes, etc than pasture fed beef---take a look at some of the research. (i know...."there he goes again...")

    Okay, when they come back for the computer, I'll let her know she should only eat vegetarians.

    Unfortunately for all the man eaters out there, people in the diet equals a high risk of getting kuru/CJD.

    (1) If you're not a zombie, you just avoid eating nervous system tissue.

    (2) If you ARE a zombie, it doesn't matter, you can eat anything.
