cooksden.com— Meet Hammy the Hamster. Hammy was kind enough to participate in hours of rigorous testing in order to get to the bottom of a critical issue: does organic food really taste better?

1. Need more test subjects.2. Should have precision weighed the samples before and after. 3. The person handling the samples should not know which is organic only be given sample A and sample B in otherwise unmarked bags.4. Samples washed and dried in similar fashion handled with gloved hands to avoid human sweat, etc.5. Samples are randomly placed on the left or right side of the test subject.6. Interpretation of result should include the fact eating more food because it taste better may contribute to obesity.7. Do hamsters normally eat vegetables anyway? The fact the hamster prefers non-organic walnuts(a type of food they would normally eat) is the most useful data point in this study.8. Did a medical ethics broad approve the experiment. :) (okay thats a dick one)9. What potential conflicts of interest does the researcher have? There is strong evidence of who pays for a study effecting the results.10. The study should clearly disclose where the samples were obtained and any brandnames used.
I don't take culinary advice from an animal that has to put his own poop in his mouth and swish it around a few times before discovering that it's not actually food.

I think they should play your video above the organic produce isle in the grocery store.
