Brasil diz 'não' a transgénicos

Sinceramente, mesmo eu morando em Portugal, estou contra alimentos modificados... sejam eles em laboratório ou simplesmente 'spray-isados' com químicos.
Discordo disso tudo. A Natureza é perfeita sem ter de ser modificada. Só que nós humanos - criaturas não tão inteligentes como se pensa - com o desejo de controlar e moldar tudo ao nosso dispor, retiramos a perfeição à Natureza.

Dantes não havia tanta obesidade no mundo... porquê? Porque não existia a tecnologia para modificar os alimentos como agora. Os vegetais e animais cresciam a um ritmo natural.
Deixando o ciclo da Natureza actuar sem interferências... só assim é que realmente se pode saborear um bife verdadeiramente saboroso... e saudável!
Não há muito tempo, passou na TV e na radio um anúncio em que se fazia publicidade ao Burger King e MC'Donalds, e outras empresas de fast-food.
«... venha aos nossos restaurantes, no V. da Gama, porque o que sabe bem, faz bem
Hah! Pela primeira vez que aquela voz exagerada e falsamente contente formulou essa frase, apetecia-me esfaquear a parede (estava a fazer uma sandes com queijo e tomate naquele momento).
Já imaginava o anunciador receber umas poucas dezenas de euros após a gravação, logicamente sem nenhuma preocupação pelo seu acto, assobiando uma musica pimba. Irrita-me. Nada do que sabe bem de hoje em dia faz bem! Ele mentiu. Mas só se interessava pelo dinheiro, como toda a gente. Queria ele saber das crianças que ouviram e acreditaram nessa mentira. Ou dos adolescentes que incentivou a comerem a gordura e porcaria frita a que se chama 'hamburger'.

O que sabe bem não faz bem. Todos sabem isso inconscientemente, mas tentam sorrir, dizer que é apenas uma estupidez. Preferem mentir a si mesmos, ignorar os factos e pegar no pacote de batatas fritas, abri-lo e meter a cabeça lá dentro. É bom, sabe bem... Principalmente os Cheetos e Ruffles. Ah! As onduladas e de presunto são as melhores! Mas a mamã chama pelo adolescente que ouviu o anúncio anteriormente. Chama-o para a mesa... hoje o jantar é bróculos e peixe cozido. *Yuck!* Coisa nojenta! Bem, pela lógica, como toda a gente diz, o que sabe bem faz bem! E o adolescente olha para o pacote de batatas com um sorriso. Por isso, o que sabe mal... faz mal! /Cresce mãe! Agora com as tecnologias, descobriram mais coisas! Não sou homem das cavernas para comer essa coisa primitiva! Não ouviste? O que sabe bem, faz mesmo bem! Tem lógica, né?/

Hoje, gigantes empresas como MC'Donalds literalmente escarram para cima da saúde da humanidade. Dinheiro, dinheiro, é o que querem. Enganam tanto. Mentem tanto. Mas safam-se por terem dinheiro, logo, poder.
Não admira que Brasil não acorde a transgénicos. E faz muito bem.

'Já nem se pode comer um tomate, tendo certeza que é mesmo um tomate!' É o que acontece sempre que vou comprar vegetais. Pergunto-me o quanto deste tomate é que modificaram. Quantos químicos lhe deram para obter esse tamanho, esse aroma enganador. Ah, como era bom ignorar. Ignorar donde vieram os hamburgers, as salsichas...

Bem, agora vou ter que jantar... O cheesburger e coca-cola estão à minha espera!
Conclusão: por mais que tente, ninguém me irá ouvir. Amanhã, irão ao Vasco Da Gama.

Q: what kind of cheesecake are you?




You Are a Chocolate Cheesecake



Rich and greedy, you're attracted to the dark side of life.
Nothing ever quite satisfies your inner beast. And somehow, people find that sexy.

Q: The house test




What the House Test Says About You



You have a high opinion of yourself. You think that you are quite important in the scheme of things... definitely more important than most people.

You can't stand community oriented people and annoying "buy local" campaigns. You prefer to live the best life possible, and that doesn't really involve many other people.

You are a calm, contemplative, and smart person. You take ideas very seriously.

You take good care of your physical appearance. You dress well, stay in shape, and do your best to look great.

You are moved by romance and love. You are optimistic about people, and you love hearing about happy endings.

Q: How's your attention span?




Your Attention Span is Medium



Your attention span is just about average.

You may think that you have a short attention span...

But being distracted is something most people struggle with.



The most important thing is that you're aware that your mind wanders.

If you find yourself daydreaming, you can usually snap out of it.

It may be tough to concentrate at times, but you can do it... if you want to!

One-T + Cool-T - The magic key

Adoro esta musica!

*****

This sudden end to my days
Makes me wish I`d changed my ways
Spent more time with the posse One-T, Nine-T, Bull-T, me
>From up here, life seems so small
What`s the meaning of it all ?
Miss the way it used to be One-T, Nine-T, Bull-T, me
Where in the world could I be ?
Homies looking so cool, cool, I`m cool-t
Tuxedos made of snow
Is there something I should know ?
Mom and Pop and little bro
Dead and gone so long ago
Could this be paradise at last ?
The first test I`ve ever passed

Music`s the odyssey
It`s here for you, for me
Just listen, find the magic key
Music`s the odyssey
It`s here for you, for me
Just listen like your life be free

Magic Key Blissful days, whatcha gonna do ?
Still I miss my old t-crew
Can`t afterlive without`em I just wish they only knew
May have lived without a home
But my homies` love me kept me warm
Taught me to forget about the game
Money, hatred, hunger, pain
This sudden end to my days
Makes me wish I`d changed my ways
Spent more time with the posse One-T, Nine-T, Bull-T, me

Music`s the odyssey
It`s here for you, for me
Just listen and find the magic key
Music`s the odyssey
It`s here for you, for me
Just listen like your life be free

Missing you, missing you
Missing you, magic crew
Missing you, missing you
Missing you, magic crew

Had a meeting with my maker
The superhuman baker
He popped me in the oven
And set the dial to lovin`
Now I watch over my boys
Help`em keep on making noise
Never pictured me with wings
Guess I`ve heard of stranger things

Q: The beach test




What the Beach Test Says About You



You are a loner, and you're fine with that. You find the most fulfillment in solitude. And you never feel more lonely than when you're in a crowd.



You fall in love with ease and confidence. Even if you've had bad experiences in the past, each new love is a reason to start completely over.



You are deeply passionate about several things in your life. You're not passionate about much... and the few passions you have are truly obsessions.



Your sense of humor is very physical. Your facial expressions or spot on imitations of people are hilarious.

Q: Are you too negative?




You Are a Little Negative...



You can be negative from time to time, but you rarely go overboard.

You have a realistic view of the world, and most people appreciate your honest insights.



Like everyone else, you have your darker moods.

But when you're feeling super negative, you keep your feelings to yourself.
