Maybe some research is in order, into the new Japanese restaurant, “The Edible Brother”, in Tokyo. It's attraction is the sale of human meat featuring on its menus.

We all know of course, the Chinese have captured this market through a chain of restaurants, where the only admission from them is the occasional use of cats.

Very underhanded. Research please.

Hasbeen ... you say "... but fails to give any proof."

I provided google scholar references, you clearly did not bother to check.

Who do you trust LNP politicians or Ernst & Young:

Allan B , had I realised you were so deficient in a sense of the ridiculous, I would have ended my comment the other day about changing gender, with a sarc tag.

BTW Alan, I looked up you revered geneticist and discovered that he at least does not claim what you say he has. His research findings is full of words like, possible,
likely, perhaps etc. Nothing actually proven. And his words confirm this, as in this extract from a science review below which states his claims show a “weak”connection with genetics. Even he admits environment plays a part in orientation choice. And he is not a geneticist, he is a psychiatrist, big difference.

“A new study in a major journal has found a weak association between several genes and sexual orientation. However, that doesn’t mean that science has identified a “gay gene” or anything like it—and some scientists have cautioned against overinterpreting the findings.

Regions on two chromosomes seemed to differ the most between people who identified as gay and those who identified as straight, according to a study published in Scientific Reports on Thursday. This is the first time an analysis, known as a genome-wide association study, on this topic has been published in a peer-reviewed journal. However, on the whole, the genomes of gay and straight men were not significantly different.

“We know that sexual orientation has some hereditary or genetic contributions,” Dr. Alan Sanders, a psychiatrist at NorthShore University HealthSystem Research Institute and an author of the paper, told Newsweek. “A common scenario in this kind of research is that you’ll hear people use a sort of shorthand like ‘the gay gene,’ which is not really accurate at all."

Sexual orientation may spring only in part from a person's genes. Sanders estimated that contribution might be about 30 percent; other factors in society and the environment likely also play a large role in shaping a person’s sexual identity.

Peer-reviewed, Alan Sanders and TEAM! Have with proper scientific rigour, identified two genes that are exclusive to homosexual genders and as reported for all to see have nominated a further three probables. As for a sense of the ridiculous! that's just not your homophobic, blocked ears and blindfolded history, Big Nana. Oh, suppository of all known genetic discoveries and validation! You'll have a nice day now y'hear. Alan B.

you should have looked at the list of references you cited. In fact I doubt that any of them actually support the work of the two scientists Aitken is talking about. They are more or less researching around the point.. how micro-organisms can ingest plastic and so on - not that the organisms are harmed but how they might be harmed. What you've pointed to there is an illustration of just how scientists can jump on a populist bandwagon at a moment's notice. There is no doubt now that the research subject of the original complaint, was never performed
