8 GMO Foods To Watch Out For

When it comes to choosing a bra, the options are usually fairly mundane. Underwire or push-up, lace or cotton? But if you have a green thumb and don't mind getting a little dirty, a Japanese company has come up with another option: rice.
Yes, rice. The food. The "bra" is essentially a set of two recyclable plastic cups that can be filled with dirt and rice seeds, then watered with a hose that doubles as a belt. Why, exactly, this contraption constitutes a bra is unclear, since it's basically two halved buckets pressed against the wearer's chest. Supportive, it isn't.
The company, Triumph, says the bra reflects the popularity of home kits that allow people to grow their own rice. "Over the last year, young Japanese women have taken a tremendous interest in agriculture," Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda told the Telegraph. "We wanted other women to experience farming as well," Why the company decided to connect the incongruous areas of agriculture and female breasts, he did not say.
Take it all with a grain of salt. The company has also created a bra that comes with a sushi set, and another equipped with solar panels. It's purely a concept -- not for sale. Want proof of the spoof? The bra comes with gardening gloves.

Oddly enough, native women now living in the polar regions have the largest breast of all. Women indigenous to warmer climates such as Asia and Africa have the smallest. Large breast have been romantisized for more than they are worth. They have been the cause for many deaths in Western society because breast feeding is looked down on as primative. Because these women don't breast feed, the occurence of breast cancer is highest.

I live in Japan with my Japanese husband, while it is true there are flat chested women here, just like any other country, I have seen plenty of women with giant breasts also, many with breasts bigger than mine. My friend is a triple D. Japanese diet is much different from the past and there are many women gaining weight more often here.

Now here's something you guys should try which will shock some of you. Click onto your purple text name. Look what happens ... your "profile" pops up. Did you know it was there? Now look at all your comments saved so nicely in an archives. WOW ... a lot of them are from other message boards.
I'll bet you didn't know that there are dozens of AOL boards linked by Blogsmith to your email. Yep that's how they set up this profile. From the very first letter you posted to any of these blogs.
Now if you were smart you didn't use your real name on that first letter. If you did, it will be on that profile even if you've decided later to use an alias. It will STILL link back to that profile.
Maybe you don't mind people being able to click onto your profile and archives. I do.
And if you have an unusual name, it will be picked up by Google and you'll have instant WWW ... worldwideweb fame. Isn't that just so neat. I don't think so.
I think my privacy has been compromised. Deviously and stealthily. What do you think?

tat
noun Brit., informal
tasteless or shoddy clothes, jewelry, or ornaments.
I guess this gives an all new meaning to the phrase, "tit for tat."
