Groceries, X …..[ Short; Kidding Around/Joking (Kind Of): Food; Modern Technology; Choices ]

Rating: 5.0


Let me drink cow's milk with hormones*;
It may make me, Bri, more virile.
Feed me only GMO** food;
I'll become a Super Hero!

But, let no "organics"*** pass my lips.
AND, of "Spring Water", I'll take NO sips! ! !

from Google:

* "Bovine growth hormone, or bovine somatotropin (also called bGH, rbGH, bST, or bST) , is given to cows to make them mature faster and produce more milk. The hormone is produced by cows' pituitary gland and an extra amino acid is attached before it's injected into dairy cows."

** "Genetically modified organisms (GMOs)are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering. This creates combinations of plant, animal, bacteria, and virus genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods."

*** "Image result for define organic food
'Organic food is the product of a farming system which avoids the use of man-made fertilisers, pesticides; growth regulators and livestock feed additives. Irradiation and the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs)or products produced from or by GMOs are generally prohibited by organic legislation."

Well....I am thinking. Could you justify these dietary choices on the grounds that the items consumed amount to 'performance enhancing' foods? Well done, Bri!
