major shortage looming in europe

03/28/1997


> From today's WSJ:
> 
> This is not a good time to be a cow in Europe.  In their ceaseless
> striving for the risk-free life, Eurocrats have just declared
> thousands of cows mad and sent them to acid pits.  And now comes the
> news that even one of the cow's proudest products, the legendary
> Toblerone bar, is under attack.  Some five hundred tons of the Swiss
> chocolate bar have just been recalled because a routine check revealed
> traces of genetically altered soybeans in lecithin, an ingredient in
> the chocolate.  Genetically altered soybeans remain illegal in
> Switzerland, even though they require less herbicide in their growing
> years, surely a welcome development for the most fervently Green
> consumerist.  And the triangulated bars showed no signs of morphing
> into gigantic scary brown bunny rabbits just in time for Easter.  At
> least not yet!  You never know.  The true alarmist is never really at
> rest until he's dead.
