I took two minutes into the programme, felt quickly queasy about the
topic (human meat) and abandoned the viewing, to continue swallowing my
dinner (non-human meat) with enjoyment.

(hmmm. in the future from another planet we may get 'alien meat' - will
that taste like chicken?)

Just as well you stopped watching, then, because later on it discussed
farming children. Their meat tastes so much better, we were told.

It cropped up somewhere bt I can't remeber how. Reminded SWMBO of Soylent
Green but for me it was more reminiscent of that Ishiguro one (Never let me

Ah, that explains all the whooshing. I find that the WWP is a good way of
keeping up with scientific progress, which I want to do. I particularly
enjoy "Science View", which is a programme on Japanese TV[1], very simlar to
the old "Tomorrow's World" on the BBC. Also, nature programms are, IMHO,
better with pictures.

[1]I have blind bambi why we get Japanese TV in our Undefiled Meja

I was hoping that was Rishi.

I found the whole factory programme series accepting and uncritical. You
would think that every one of the programmes was about the best thing
since sliced bread. Improving on sliced bread is not difficult.

We did not have a lantern at that time. We did not eat spaghetti in
those days, however my father had served in Italy during the Late
Unpleasantness. The following day, when he heard about it at work, he
could hardly himself.

I am still surprised, given the numbers who had served in Italy, that so
many British people fell for it.

Do the factories pay or is it free advertising?

The advert on the bottom left of 'The San Serif Sun' was a give away:
'The Great Gossard Cover Up'.

OTH I have been caught out by stories published on 1 April which were
