[QUOTE="Azlan, post: 984330, member: 2340"] I dunno. Is it really unethical to grow headless, feetless, featherless chickens, like rows of eggplants? Sure, it seems creepy. But, really, these bioengineered "chickens" would be totally unthinking and unfeeling, and no more a living creature than an eggplant. And it's sure a lot less cruel and brutal than raising chickens in crowded, filthy pens, and then chopping off their heads when it's time to "harvest" them for their meat. Um, since when is Diet Coke engineered to be [i]healthy[/i]? It's engineered to [i]taste good[/i], while still being extremely low in calories. Being a diabetic, I've been drinking Diet Coke (and other diet soft drinks) for over 15 years now. At first, I didn't like it much, but what other choice did I have? Water? I mean, water is great, and I tend to drink a lot of it between meals. But water with a meal is bland. Now, after all these years of drinking Diet Coke (I now like it a lot, but only if I cut it with a lot of ice), I find the taste of regular Coke not quite right. [/QUOTE]
