"South Korean authorities warned that the pills could be dangerous to human health." uhhh yeah, they are killing infants to make them. D: |

Although I have serious doubts about the veracity of this story in the first place, I would point out that in its unabashed sensationalism they seem to be using the terms 'infant' and fetal' interchangeably. Assuming these pills exist at all (the only primary news source seems to be a Korean-made documentary) it is far more plausible that the tissue would come from aborted fetuses, which would probably be relatively easy to obtain in China with their strict population control laws. In any case its probably safe to assume that no actual infants were harmed in the making of this sensational report. |

*and yes, I know that in the minds of some people an infant and a fetus are the same thing. |

Would it not be cheaper to make knockoff pills, using human material even 'younger' than foetuses? |

Boy, it would be so much easier for me if I knew where to get these pills. Do you KNOW the EFFORT I have to go through to make my own Cannibal Casserole? It's not like how it used to be when my family would gather around a burnout car, or an outhouse we nailed shut and set on fire. We have all evening of pulling flesh off the corpses. The worst part is all the PAPER WORK! |

At first I thought you said cannabis casserole. Now I think I'm gonna have to devise a recipe for that. Judging by the amount of fat you'd need to absorb the THC for best effectiveness, I think a broccoli and cheese casserole would do the trick. Easy Broccoli and Cheese Casserole: 1 (16 oz.) bag frozen broccoli cuts 1 (8 oz.) jar Cheez Whiz 1 sm. onion, chopped 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1C Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 C rice (prepared) 1 stick Pot Butter 9 x 12 inch greased casserole dish Saute onion on medium low in the pot butter. When onion is soft, stir in thawed broccoli, Cheez Whiz, soup, rice and shredded cheese. Stir well and pour into greased casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. If anyone wants to try this out and get back to me, you're a trooper. :-) |

Easy cannibal infant Broccoli and Cheese Casserole: 1 1/2 lbs aged infant meat, de-boned and cubed, 1" 1/2 (16 oz.) bag frozen broccoli cuts 1 (8 oz.) jar Cheez Whiz 1 sm. onion, chopped 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1C Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 C rice (prepared) 1 stick Pot Butter 1 tablespoon olive oil 9 x 12 inch greased casserole dish 1/2 cup red zinfandel 1/2 cup coarse bread crumbs Brown baby cubes in 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, saute onion on medium low in the pot butter. When onion is soft, stir in baby cubes, add 1/2 cup red zinfandel, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the alcohol has evaporated. Add soup and simmer for 10 minutes more, covered. Add thawed broccoli, Cheez Whiz, rice and half of the shredded cheese. Stir well and pour into greased casserole dish. Cover with the remaining cheese and bread crumbs and bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. |

Infant meat you're going to want to braise for at least an hour or it'll be too tough. |

I'm thinkin' it's like veal, or baby pig/lamb. Very tender. Less collagen - making protein denaturing easier. 50 minutes plus browning should be plenty, no? |

Depends on which cut you get, I guess. An infant filet would probably melt in your mouth, but something like a shank I'd want braised for a good while. |

I've usually just cooked the weed with olive oil or butter and use that for cooking. The major problem I've had with pot brownies etc is that it takes so long to kick in, that I think it isn't working and I eat more; or that the food is so delicious, and I forgot to make regular food, that I keep eating the pot-food. And then my pleasant-high goes to super-"fuck-you-lilmookie"-high and lasts forever to the point I want nothing more than to be bone sober. |

I embarrassed myself early into dating my wife when she wanted to introduce me to her friends. We went to a friend of her's apartment and there were brownies. Apparently, we were supposed to eat half a brownie and eat the other half later. However, I was really hungry and ate my whole brownie before I was told that... I spent the next several hours too stoned to talk. Some first impression I made...I was mortified. |

This reminds me of the heavy set opthamologist that told me I should stop all swimming activity immediately, because if I continued wearing swim goggles, the veins in my eye would grow into my pupils, blinding me for life. This is my favorite quote from the article: "if the eye is not allowed to regulate its size to the proper length, then myopia can occur." |

Sure, I can't argue with that reasoning. Nevertheless this story is total hokum. Really it's pretty funny how many major news outlets are running with it as if it were confirmed fact. |

Considering the Chinese put cardboard in soups, anti-freeze chemicals in toothpaste, melamine in baby formula, not to mention the obsessive nature of "natural" remedies and additives like rhino horn, among other similar practices, using dried fetuses or aborted babies as a "supplement" doesn't seem so far fetched. Besides, you really think the Chinese Ministry of Health (while ignoring environmental abuse polluting ground water) is going to admit, through the state run news agency, that they found this practice to be true? Of course they are going to deny it in light of previous allegations and realities of off the wall practices. I don't really know, but it certainly is "possible." |

Sure, it's not that farfetched. That's why all these media outlets are buying it. But it's still bullshit. The only original sources cited for this story are a Korean customs official and a documentary that aired on Korean TV. So far, no independent testing or verification whatsoever on the actual contents or even existence of these alleged capsules. In the next couple of days we'll see a lot of walking back of this story. If indeed it turns out to be true, I will personally eat one of these baby capsules. |

You think ABC News is going out on a limb and sticking it's neck out on a hunch? Not that I think ABC is the best of journalism, but their normal, "adjusted" credibility is at stake. But then again, with today's standards for honesty and integrity, it wouldn't surprise me if they did it for clicks. |

Sad fact is major news outlets are reporting bullshit stories like this on an almost daily basis these days. It's because they now rely less and less on actual boots-on-the-ground journalists and more on aggregation for their information. One legit news outlet picks up a dubious story and it's fair game, they all swarm on it. Note that the ABC story actually cites this blog entry from WSJ as its source, which in turn gets its info from South Korean media. With this kind of lazy reporting 'credibility' has become largely irrelevant. |
