Outrage continues over major food companies and their relationship with a firm that uses aborted fetal cells to test food flavor enhancers....

To be fair, I believe the few websites I've looked at after reading this indicate that there was an original aborted fetus; everyone now is using cloned cells from the original....best I can figure, they're bio-engineering the cloned cells to cause the flavor receptors on the tongue to believe they're tasting something else....

No more Pepsi products or hot chocolate for me. I liked the one repsonse that stated it was only a baby aborted back in the 70's, like that makes it acceptable?

Okay, update: I was wrong in my interpretation. Some more research indicates that they use the cloned cells by mixing the flavor additives with the cells, and observe the reactions. At that point, it goes over my head (I can't figure out how they determine taste bud reaction based on mixing a chemical substance with cells, but hey, it apparently works....)

But I still have a problem with using aborted fetal tissue....
