Milk Fat is Good for You -- The Rise of the Bots -- Your Hamburger May Come from a Lab, not a Cow



Newsweek

Ice cream is good for the heart.
Swiss cheese gives life a new start.
If I want to take
a swig of milk shake
my doctor will think I am smart!

Since then, bots have become, for many people, a digital boogeyman, a viral weapon that can be wielded to influence political opinions, fool advertisers, prank unknowing social media users and get bad hashtags to trend. (They’re also the lifeblood of many users we call influencers.)
NYT
You cannot tell what is a bot
and what is a personal thought.
The way people write
is never too bright --
so which is the real tommyrot? 


Some people are awfully glib
whenever they use a large fib.
They don't think it base
to lie with such grace;
to them tis a mere quaint ad-lib.


Cell-culture meat makers begin by isolating livestock or poultry cells that have the capacity to renew themselves, and place them into room-size bioreactor tanks, similar to fermenters. The cells are fed oxygen and nutrients like sugar and minerals, and can grow into skeletal muscle that can be harvested within a few weeks. That tissue can then be formed into meatballs or chicken strips.

They've made my french fries GMO.
My milkshake is soy, even so.
But when my meat slab
must come from a lab --
at Wendy's I'll be a no-show.
