And the Mouse takes the Cheese

Thanks Sam for this very funny and scary article.

Straight from the Comanche County Newspaper Article.

"Processed and GE Foods Freak Out Mice

Schools in Wisconsin are showing kids the dangers of genetically engineered (GE) and processed junk food with some unique science class experiments. Sister Luigi Frigo repeats the experiment every year in her second grade class in Cudahy, Wisconsin. Students feed one group of mice unprocessed whole foods. A second group of mice are given the same junk foods served at most schools. Within a couple of days, the behavior of the second group of mice develop erratic sleeping schedules and become lazy, nervous and even violent. It takes the mice about three weeks on unprocessed foods to return to normal. According to Frigo, the second graders tried to do the experiment again a few months later with the same mice, but the animals had learned their lesson. They refused to eat the GE food!"


Wow the sad part is the the mice learned their lesson. Even if a person (child or adult) gave up sweets eventually they will be lured to the dark side...

Oh well!!
