haha... i can't believe i'm actually reading this:

Article about a grapefruit tree that bears beef instead of fruit

... in a way it's humorous... in a way, freaky... i still have no idea whether or not it's ethical... "playing God" is not a very good argument that it's unethical though, as i'm learning in various medical-related philosophy classes... the fact that it could be dangerous to consumers is though... although the good thing is it might lower the cost of beef, whether or not you're a vegetarian... would it have the same types of nutrients though?

and God created meat... and he saw that it was good... but man sinned against God has forever to this day been rebelling against God... then man raised up within himself ingratitude towards the things God had given him, and refused to eat what God had created, even though he had given it to man for food... he caused grapefruit to bear beef, so that he could still follow his own philosophies and ignore God's will without depriving himself... and God saw that it was whack... in other words, you vegetarians are EVIL :)

personally, i think if you wanna eat meat, just eat the real thing... don't look at me and tell me you're eating fruit and give yourself the false sense of security that you're not eating a cow... what are you on, the atkins diet?
