A typically Californian assumption about life in the Midwest that I've had to gently correct before. No, inventing Jell-O "salads" is what happens in winter for bored Midwesterners who haven't yet discovered sex. The vast majority of us definitely do NOT prefer Jell-O salads over the other. I take it you haven't yet seen the steamy windows of Minnesota on a January day. Yep, good times. Ya, shure, yew betcha, hey.herbivore12 wrote:I think this is what happens when you don't have enough to do in the winter.

Re: A Moral Decision Regarding Food
The only moral issue most Americans should have with food is that they (we) eat way too much. We're literally hogging it down while entire nations starve.

The "while nations starve" was edited in especially to soften the blow, and make my look more human.

Re: A Moral Decision Regarding Food
Would it be morally wrong to genetically manipulate vegetables or animals so that they craved to be killed and eaten?

(By the way, that's how fruits evolved. They're a bribe from the parent plant to get an animal to carry its seed elsewhere.)
