The Next "Superfood"

My friends, I found it: the archetypal exemplar of the Jurassic Park quote "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should."

This is an actual editorial in a peer-reviewed medical journal from 2018.

(Also, yeah, I think that is enough internet for me for today.)

My entire professional life I have always said that in academia we study everything, but now I am beginning to feel as if we should pull back on that just a little bit!

Without actually reading the article, I already have a question. How exactly does one go about milking a cockroach? … and given that they have six legs, I’d assume the odds that they might kick the tiny bucket over are about 50% greater than when milking a cow.

From "Meet the Parents": Robert DiNero's character "I have nipples Greg, could you milk me?"

Great question on why one would consider this.

When the word “Superfood” is used in an article published in a scientific journal with a ranking in the mid 6000’s I tend to ignore it. Maybe it is just me.🤔

Damn, it would be a lot harder to milk a cockroach than it is to milk all of these hamsters I have running around here.

MBMorgan had the same thought as I did except my brain went to "Meet the Parents" and the scene where Stiller's character explains how to milk cats.
