Response to Sundome (Reply #24)

Sat Nov 8, 2014, 09:47 AM

32. Speaking of advertising as news

I remember the dawn of OAT BRAN

One day you saw on the noon news that OAT BRAN would eliminate fat
and cancer in the colon by harmlessly carrying the fat away

THE VERY NEXT WEEK you went to the store and OAT BRAN was everywhere

and OAT BRAN DOUGNHUTS quickly followed, at about $1.79 each

They were the heaviest donuts ever, like they were dipped in lard

In the case of the GMO POTATO:

For organic enthusiasts it's always been the pesticides that cause the worry

If I recall correctly that would be arsenics used to prevent nematodes

now if they could prevent the use of pesticides

THAT would be heathful

preventing cancer by eliminating acrylamides while keeping
arsenic in the mix

not a big enough breakthrough for me
