Hahaha, I love it when I can find an excuse to use and abuse Steven Tyler! He's such a good sport :)
I read a disturbing news story over the weekend. We are a youth-obsessed culture thanks to Hollyweird. Normal aging is seen as something to be manipulated and even cut away as necessary... Well, we can colour our grey hair, slather ourselves with creams and exercise till the cows come home, but we are still going to get old - and look it!
Apparently now even our apples must look eternally young and fresh. Despite public resistance a BC apple grower is among a group seeking approval to eventually market GMO apples (they're still in the development stage) with flesh that doesn't turn brown when cut. It's unsightly! Personally, I've found lemon juice quite effective for dealing with this travesty. The thought of apples being genetically modified to prevent browning is unsettling to say the least. The fact that we will eventually see these on our shelves whether we want them or not, is infuriating. What's next... perhaps an apple you eat before bed that delays the aging process... hmmm, sounds like Snow White and that was a poison apple!
