Re: cross-species food
Zoe, I do not mean to dismiss the seriousness of such an issue, but your alluding to pseudo scientist slaving away somewhere in some back room lab tinkering with tomatoes and fish put me to mind of a scene from a movie from about 20 years ago - Night Shift. Therein Mike Keaton played well the moronic character of one Billy Blazekowski who admitted to being " I'm an idea guy... I've got that kind of a mind". What kind of ideas?... how about...wait!, it's coming to me "what if we feed fish mayonaze....instant tuna fish!". Although such sentiment was still a bit premature by the still-fomenting standards of pseudo-science of that particular hollywood/media cartel genre, imagine if the genetic fiddlers ever get their heads together with the global-warming climate fiddlers? Feeding fish mayonaze, despite the outcome, does away with yet another supposed accomplice (the humble tin-tuna can) messin with pseudo science's ever-precious view of the greater enviornment. This may not ultimatelyl bode well for other in-a-can industries - like pseudo cheese in a spray can, but as a result, Al Gore will be happier, Heidi Cullen and other pseudo scientists will be a bit happier, we can all be a bit happier that the globe will be a bit cooler.
How much cooler does one suppose our globe would be if, by chance, the pseudo scientists could convince the world to give up the use of all the manufacturing of the requisite metals, as well as necessary combustion of precious fossil-fuels therin, presently required to keep the infrastructures of the combined industry of military and media in operation? Just in trying to imagine that, I already feel the section of the globe where I am having immediately gone a few degrees cooler from such a theoretical prospect.
