Transcript

I like to end these talks with my top pick for study-of-the-year, but before I get to the top finalist, I thought I might briefly share some contenders for last place. For example, money was spent sniffing the effect of mugwort and mushrooms on the urine odor of aged mice. Or how ‘bout this one: How to use fish guts for laundry detergent. Taxpayers paid for an investigation of the structure of tomatoes by means of quantitative nuclear MRIs. We now know, ladies and gentlemen, what the inside of a tomato looks like.
The effects of a horsemeat-based Atkins diet on rats was studies, as well as how to improve the gelling properties of ground lizardfish, because you know there’s nothing worse than runny lizardfish jello.
What are the sensory and color changes in warty venus flesh during marination—because if the color’s off or something just forget it.
The meat industry continues to try to get rid of their byproducts. You’ve heard of soy infant formula, dairy infant formula, how about chicken-based formula for babies. Don’t worry the, meat is blenderized so as to be easily sucked through a rubber nipple.
See, I don’t just read journals like plant medica, phytomedicine, I read the Journal of MuscIe Foods. Not foods for muscles, mind you, but foods made out of muscles.
What might one find in a nutrition journal of meat? Articles about how to starve bunnies, of course. Starved rabbits, have the highest ripe meat ratio, and therefore the best barbequed bunny can be obtained by withholding food.
On a lighter note: from a Norwegian medical journal, “\Flatophonia: the art of the musical anus is reviewed The man could blow out candles from yards away—a true fartiste.
You’ll notice that the 13th edition of this book, published in 1727, was not only reviewed by the college of physicians but “approved by several Ladies of Quality.”

    There is obviously a lot of disgusting research going on and getting published. I had no idea there was a “Journal of Muscle”. I feel sad for all the animals that were tested on for such seemingly pathetic uses. Really, I thought paid research had to go through ethical review boards to focus on reducing the number of animals, finding a replacement (non-animal), and refinement (to find ways to reduce suffering and harm to the animal research subjects), referred to as the 3 Rs in research.

    I hope the horse meat study took into account that most horses raised in the US are not raised under food safety guidelines and are therefore given many substances which are banned from use in ANY animal intended for human consumption.
