Obama agency rules Pepsi use of cells derived from aborted fetus ‘ordinary business’

These are human cells of murdered human beings. It is unethical for any company to use them to make money. According to the natural law, it is most likely unhealthy also. For every one child born, eight more are killed. I will refrain from using the myriad of Pepsi products.

Further proof the world is upside down.

Pepsi uses cells from aborted babies to make a product for human consumption and not a word from the MSM.

Soylent Green should be the name of the product....

In fact that should be the Pro-Life protest banner, used against Pepsi.

Isn’t there a law regarding the disposal of aborted babies?

There certainly is for all other “surgical waste”!!!

The whole venture (of Pepsi, not the boycott) sounds highly artificial and implausible. How are these “fetal cells” supposed to report back how a soft drink tastes? How are they double checked (yes, by old fashioned taste tests by living humans)? Why does not old fashioned chemistry suffice (apparently it does for Coca Cola, which has no notorious quality problems)? It is ridiculous on its face.

So, what is going on here? Are they using the fetal cells as a test medium for commercial product development?

Dr. Mengele... call you office...

The cartoons should be hilarious if they weren’t so sad. (”I was a liver cell of an aborted baby. Now they want me to taste test this Pepsi.”)

My cousin is a Pepsi ‘addict’ ...... perhaps this will persuade him to lay off the Pepsi.

I will make darned sure I never have another product made by Pepsi in my house.

I’m a Coca-Cola addict—never liked Pepsi-Cola, anyway.

What the heck is Pepsi doing using fetal cells in making soda? I liked Pepsi products. Not any more.

Hmm, using human remains in the design and preparation of food for human consumption ~ that's your basic CANNIBALISM.

Pepsi products will just have to disappear from the market, or they'll need a new management team.

Maybe both.

That's a bumper sticker right there.

please, where’s the satire tag. there HAS to be one.

[Lawgvr1955]

Holy cow! Pepsi has tons of food lines. Guess my boycott of so many products might lead me to lose a little weight.

[Shelayne]

Whaaaaat????

Is this for real? How can this be real?

I am a PEPSI girl, and I have been one as long as I can remember.

This totally sucks. Pepsi, you just lost one of your most loyal customers. :^(

Pepsi-Cola was always a reasonable tasting soda, though Coca-Cola beats it for quality. Pepsi better withstands the “diet” treatment than Coke. Diet Coke and Tab are identical things as far as I can tell and both taste artificial. Pepsi for years did not need to use dead baby parts to maintain its product quality. This is probably an item that is less than a hundredth of the company budget and would not make the difference in how well Pepsi survives, but it casts its odious shadow upon Pepsi.

I guess I’m a Coke-with-sugar guy now.

Speculation here, as the information is sketchy, but I suspect the purpose is to to engineer a "flavor" that is addictive. That is a reaction that can be observed on a cellular level.

A new engineered chemical, supposedly designed for "flavor" would not be defined as a narcotic or drug and would not be illegal, at least until the purpose and intent could be proven.

They may be doing human testing on subjects that can't be whistle blowers.

Am I reading that website correctly? Pepsico owns quaker oats?!

Crap! I gotta give-up oatmeal and pancakes!
