There's some of that stunning and witty repartee that MAMers are known for. No wonder attendance was down by about half across the board for this years MAM events. Seem like they are starting to reap what they have sown.
Nothing on the Internet is so serious it can't be laughed at, and nothing is as laughable as people who think otherwise.

Mostly it's choking. You take a big bite, and your friends confront you head on over your choice of apple. As you suck back in surprise, you choke to death.

It's funny when people demonstrate against pesticides and GMOs at the same time. I drove by that crowd. One of the reasons companies develop GMOs is to reduce the amount of pesticides needed. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the demonstrators think that GMOs ARE pesticides.

Would not surprise me one bit for some of them to confuse the two. One thing we do know for sure, is that at least in this instance, the demonstrators ARE pests.
