Genetically Modified Broccoli Shrieks Benefits at Shoppers

Bremerton, WA - A head of genetically modified broccoli shrieked its
numerous benefits at shoppers Monday in a Seattle-area Safeway. "I
contain 40 percent more vitamin A than non-modified broccoli!", the
head screeched at terrified produce aisle customers. "I can fight
off insects and disease without the use of pesticides!" Monsanto,
which produced the vegetable, stressed that genetic-modification
technology is still in its infancy, and that more pleasantly voiced
broccoli should hit store shelves fairly soon.

Bremerton is not considered to be in the Seattle area.

When you live on the East Coast, Spokane is in the Seattle area. It's all a
matter of perspective.

It's "The Onion". Don't take it TOO seriously. Today, on their web site,
they ran an article announcing the French's was coming out with disinfectant
mustard. :-)
