Along with that, have you seen all the screaming regarding "genetic 
engineering" of food??? All these people who want NOTHING to do with food 
that has been *GASP* TINKERED WITH!!

Well, then what the **** have these people been putting in their salad all 
their lives? The tomatoes, the carrots, even LETTUCE for pity's sake, NONE 
of that stuff was in that form in period. *snort*

Oh well, let's not disturb their pleasant little dreams that they are 
eating completely natural stuff as nature intended.
