For real?

i admit that I ask myself that question more and more often these days as I read online news pages. But today's headline from the bbc was priceless:

"'Glow-in-the-dark pork chops' no cause for alarm, Australians told"

Yup, that's right. So you have glowing meat, and industry says no problem.. Although this bbc's inside source seems to suggest a little caution could be in order:

So the glowing can be a sign that the food is starting to go off and Mr George Davey (head of the New South Wales Food Authority) recommends consumers throw any luminous pork chops - or other cuts of meat - straight into the dustbin.
"Remember this simple advice - if it glows, throw it."

If you really need to be told to be suspicious of fluorescent pork-products, I think you oughtta go right ahead and try some. let me know how it goes for ya.

oddly enough, I could have used that information last night. Mental note: 'Don't eat glowing meat'. Who would've thunk it?
