Hmmm.....I guess there are benefits, but all in all it does not appeal to me.....It doesn´t seem natural and things that aren´t natural often have hidden drawbacks that are only discovered later.

I mean, this is beyond GMO food....

Anything goes for me as long as:

1. it won´t make me have 3rd arm or leg in the long run

2. no animals were treated with cruelty

3. it´s not of human origin (what was the title of that old film about global famine and making food of people?)

I think what you refer to is the movie....

Soylent Green

Yeap, Soylent Green it was. Thanks oh, and another one comes to mind - Delicatessen

NYC couch potato contest lasts 29 hours

A Manhattan librarian emerged as a champion couch potato after three rivals gave in to sleep deprivation or nature’s call. Stan Friedman won the ESPN Zone Ultimate Couch Potato Competition, which began Tuesday morning at the ESPN Zone restaurant in Times Square. The event ended Wednesday afternoon after more than 29 grueling hours of continuous sports viewing -- mainly college football bowl games and endless highlights loops. The four participants, sitting in recliners in front of a dozen 42-inch high-definition plasma televisions and a couple of 14-foot HD projection TVs, could order unlimited food and drinks, but they weren’t allowed to go to sleep or leave their recliners except for restroom breaks once every eight hours. Friedman, a research librarian whose favorite sport is baseball, was declared the victor when runner-up Nate Lopez ran to the bathroom before the allotted break time. He won a $5,000 prize package including a huge TV, a cozy recliner and a trophy with a potato on it “I have a 350-square-foot apartment, so I don’t know what I’ll do with the TV,” he said Thursday. “But I’ll make room for the recliner.”

What a contest! 

Cancel your flight to Amsterdam – the U.S. just got its first marijuana cafe on Friday. Located in Portland, Ore., the Cannabis Cafe shows how attitudes have changed since the Obama administration moved into the White House. A month ago, President Barack Obama told federal attorneys to ease off medical marijuana prosecutions.
