The Spirit of Easter

It's almost Easter, and you know what that means. My thoughts have turned to all the candy that you can only get this time of year (Cadbury mini-eggs are my favorite). What you may not know about is the controversy surrounding Peeps research.

Scientists have performed a series of tests to investigate the tolerance of Peeps to such stressors as excess heat, cold, radiation and fear (among others).

As could be expected with research which has the potential to cause pain for the test subjects, there is fierce opposition.

I for one think that it is fine to continue with this research program. Peeps are capable of doing their own research on the subject, and if they didn't want it to continue, they would rise up and put an end to it themselves.
