How do you like your Beef?
- 5 August 2010 06:4964058I went into this restaurant last night. Thought I'd try somewhere new and the waiter eventually came up to me and asked what i wanted.
I said
"I'll have the beef dinner my man!"
He said
"A good choice sir, how do you like your beef?"
Me thinking that he needed to know if I wanted it well done or rare or..and I was about to answer when he said
" Cloned or Regular?"
"Ermmm well.. Cloned" said I, "Ive heard good things about Cloned!" said i waffling away unsure of my territory.
"How do you like your veg" said he on a roll..."irradiated or pesticided"
"Well I guess Im used to pesticides and if I dont have them I might get an allergic reaction" said I proud of my decisiveness on the issue.
"Thats good sir and for dessert??"
"Well I'll have the fresh yogurt and strawberries" said I
He said then "are you aware sir that the yogurt is homogenised and from the cloned cow and the strawberries were forced fed in greenhouses with added Nitrogen"
"Yes thats fine!" said I...anything for peace at this stage, just bring the bloody dinner!
All came and all was very nice, and all washed down with a nice wine that had only 0.5% Mercury.
I had a strange green phospherescent glow on the way home but apart from that I was just fine.

lol no Sid... i quit while I was ahead.
Although at one stage I did wonder if I should have had the Gulf of Mexico mackerel..flown in fresh that day from New Orleans and quite cheap too...

- 5 August 2010 09:4564077.. and what about all the genetically modified stuff? like (most?) maize imported into UK, and a lot of tomatoes....
Apparently when developing tomatoes which lasted longer on shelves they added a fish gene to the genes. Then they found the skins were too tough, so they added a gene from rubber plant ....
Nowadays it's a case of 'maize with everything', it's in 90% of all packaged and pre-prepared foods (some organics escaped as maize appears to be mostly modified), and not only foods, they put it in tablets and pills as a BULKING AGENT... Even things like paracetamol, aspirin etc. Maize starch mostly used because it is the cheapest. They occasionally use wheat starch, sometimes rice starch. I have quite a problem finding things I CAN EAT as I have a maize intolerance, and it is NO JOKE !! The wheat intolerance I can more easily cope with as it is usually labelled 'gluten free' etc. but maize is not gluten !!
Manufacturers have a lot to answer for with the things they put into food - just look at lists of ingredients in packaged foods, ice creams etc..
Do YOU know what they all are ??

Lincolnshire Born and Bred - 5 August 2010 10:2464080There was a huge Maze intolerance in NI some years back as I recall. Most of the population were affected.

Lincolnshire Born and Bred - 5 August 2010 12:1764088Yes indeed Sid I was one with a massive intolerance to the aforementioned maze problem, some people even went on hunger strike to avoid it. Thats a very rash way of improving your intolerance levels or even your dietary situation and must be avoided if possible.
Must humans just roll over and accept now Kath whats in their foodstuff. Its frightening in a way. Best to absorb all chemical combinations and hope for the best...in the long run we will probably all be irradiated anyway.. There isnt really a choice...from cradle to consumer grave all foodtsuff is forced, sprayed, inbred, genetically enhanced...and now cloned. oh happy days.email: dover7@msn.com - 5 August 2010 12:1864089Ouch!
At least with your green phosphorescent glow PaulB you improved your carbon footprint by saving the battery life in your torch. - 5 August 2010 15:5364105I wonder if we will be longer lasting in the afterlife with all this intake of irradiated foodstuffs, its probably way cheaper than embalming
