I predict that the next big thing is going to a huge black market in smuggled and counterfeit BROCCOLI! <br /><br />Broccoli can easily be smuggled in from other countries disguised as food. Customs inspectors will never realize what's slipping past them as many of them are red/green color blind!<br /><br />Counterfeit broccoli will flood the market too since broccoli is in the cabbage family and easily manufactured from leftover cabbage waste. In some cases we are likely to see the cabbage adulterated with grass clippings or perhaps even TOBACCO! <br /><br />WARN YOUR CHILDREN! STAY AWAY FROM BROCCOLI!!!<br /><br />(Carrots too: they are a gateway drug to broccoli!)<br /><br />- MJMMichael J.
