wtf is wrong with people these days?? they solve everything by "modifying" the genes, thank god i was born in the good old days when we had just 8 vaccinations and medicine and vegetable tasted the "way they are supposed to" BAD.

i am actually looking at a bunch of mad scientists. genetically engineer everything. why not? go to town. until every person, animal, and thing is so far removed from the way nature intended... gad damn where will they stop. Restraint, people! Restraint!!

That's weird. Certain poisons are bitter. Anyways... I loved broccoli as a child. If the parents don't give them things chocked full of sugar and grease, they'll like veggies.

[zer0nix]

ugh... blocking genes so children don't have to taste bitterness seems grotesque in my eyes -yet i know there are plenty of parents, liberal and conservative alike, who would definitely appreciate this.
