Kraft tricks worms with delicious poison

I was digging this morning, and I stumbled upon (If it’s possible to “stumble upon” something on “digg.” Both companies probably have trademarks on the terms) this article on the Environmental Graffiti blog.
The gist is that Kraft is working on a food with a pesticide rich formula to combat the rampant intestinal worm problem of Asia, South America, and Africa. I’m thinking it’s some kind of cheese; if it tastes horrible, Kraft can claim it’s just the natural cheese flavor …while some exotic swamp platypus lactates in a big jar at the Kraft lab.
But isn’t this a step backward from society’s “organic, no hormones, no msg, no irregularlly shaped salt, and made from the pubic feathers of angels” food craze? Or maybe it’s a step forward? This could be the start of a bold future. Soon they’ll be Kraft foods with radioactive isotopes. I can see the commercials nows. “Kraft Krumbles will glow with a mellow heat as they “krumble” on to your salad!”
