Whole Foods Punchline Poll

Nothing of real interest happened today, and I have some work to do.

So I'll leave you with this, a poll to pick your favorite punchline to a joke I'm working on.  Feel free to improve the joke in the comments.

Whole Foods.  The entire marketing strategy of Whole Foods is to showcase organic, pesticide free, and natural foods.  No bioengineering, no gene splicing.  This is a key tenet of eating healthy, we are told, and if you walk through their store, you are assaulted with the message of "natural" food.

If you're taking a poll, most people would say that the people who shop there are liberal.  This isn't to say that conservatives don't shop there (my wife and I buy food from there), but in general, you can fairly say that the majority of people who shop at Whole Foods support liberal causes.

Causes like stem cell research and human cloning.

So, in the eyes of Whole Food Customers, would it be be fair to say that messing with the DNA of baby corn is a horrible thing to do, going against what Nature intended.  Messing with the DNA of a baby, however, is perfectly acceptable.

Alternate bits:

1) So, in the eyes of Whole Food Customers, would it be be fair to say that messing with the DNA of corn is a horrible thing to do, but messing with the DNA of David Corn, is perfectly acceptable.

2) So, in the eyes of Whole Food Customers, would it be be fair to say that messing with the DNA of broccoli  is a horrible thing to do, going against what Nature intended.  Messing with the DNA of Brock Lee, is perfectly acceptable.

3)  So, in the eyes of Whole Food Customers, would it be be fair to say that messing with the DNA of Gerber food is a horrible thing to do, but messing with the DNA of the Gerber baby is perfectly acceptable.

The joke needs some work... there may be material in the apparent contradiction between protesting GMO's and supporting stem cell research, but your joke comes off more like a Karl Rove sound bite - it's just not that funny. That said, option 3 seems to have the most potential.

And while I agree that liberals are probably more likely to resist consuming genetically modified corn, they are probably just as unlikely as conservatives to consume a genetically modified baby.
