I got this email from a local guy that "blogs" on a DC Yahoo Group about what's going on in Chocolate City as well as world news. This was a very interesting topic and I'd thought I'd share it with you all and get your opinions on it. It's really something to think about.


The media is a trip. They will give you an hours worth of hype and
propaganda on the news every night, but the IMPORTANT things go
unaired and unaddressed. I recently got wind of something that I
feel should be broadcasted on every television network, radio show
and print publication. Unfortunately, I have only seen a few
articles about it, and I had to google those because I couldn't find
anything pertaining to it on television. There are few things more
important to the human race than the food we eat and, in the
upcoming months, some dramatic changes are going to be made
regarding the food we consume.

The FDA has ruled that cloned meat is safe for human consumption.
By this time next year, you could be eating a burger consisting of a
cloned beef patty. This scares me. Oh, and let me not forget to
mention that the FDA does not feel the need to put a label on the
cloned meat, so the public won't be able to tell the difference
between real meat and cloned meat. This news makes me want to
become a vegetarian!! It's bad enough that our kids are eating
meals from fast food restaurants with hormone injected meat, now
they are trying to feed us SCIENCE PROJECTS. I might even accept
the fact that they are putting cloned meat on the market, but at
least tell me which meat is which!! Notice how the news will have a
15 minute segment on American Idol, a 20 minute segment on what
color underwear the VTech gunman was wearing, and 20 more minutes on
all of the other murders, deaths and homicides that happened during
the day; yet news like this gets NO coverage. I just so happened to
run across an article about this while reading The Washington Post,
waaayyy back in the tumbleweeds section.

I urge everyone to research this topic and educate yourselves on
what the FDA is about to do. I was never a big fan of the
whole "cloning" idea. I felt like the government was trying to play
God in the name of science. After reading this, I will never look
at a chicken nugget the same. This is just a prime example of why
we cannot trust the mainstream media to hand us the truth about
things anymore. News channels, networks, and newspapers all have
their own agendas nowadays. We have to get out here and read up on
things ourselves. We also have to write about the things we find, so
that others may research it. That's what I'm doing here, now it's
your turn. Forward this email to all of your friends and families
(just like you forward those damn chain emails, fake stories, jokes,
and horoscopes) so that they'll know about this whole cloned meat
deal. They say that the best way to hide something from a Black
person is to put it in a book. Let's prove them wrong,
whoever "they" may be. Until next time…


This is a VERY serious situation we have here. I for one am also a bit leery of other people cooking red meat. I have to really have a taste for red meat, something I don't eat often anyway, in order to "trust" someone other than a CLOSE family member or myself to cook it. And now, they (The Government) want to "clone" meat and put it on the market. Why oh why are they doing this? I'm almost ready to get the hell out of the city and go purchase myself some land in the south so that I can get my home built and have enough land to grow my own foods. That's what has to happen in order for us to know what it is that we're REALLY eating out here. It's a shame that this information is not given on the news or on the radio. And it seems like you have to read every nick and cranny of the newspaper before you can find the article.

It's real out here people. Keep up with what's going on in the world as well as your own backyard. Get out of that mindset that you don't keep up with the news because it's too depressing. That's the biggest load of bullshit that I've ever heard in my life. Why don't you want to know what's going on out here? You'd be the first one complaining when something happens. Take time to sit down and read the paper once in a while, or watch the news. If you hear about something and you can't find it on the news, utilize the Internet and research it! Or else, you'll be out here eating what you "think" is a cheeseburger and it's really cow's balls or tongue. And that's the goddamn truth!
