		+	== Removing Hormones as harmful ==
		+
		+	In the line:
		+
		+	The "organic batteries" refers to organic food, which is supposed to lack toxic pesticides, or any harmful artificial ingredients such as hormones.
		+
		+	I believe "or any harmful artificial ingredients such as hormones" should be removed since it states that hormones used in food production are harmful, something the FDA has said is not true.
		+
		+	http://www.fda.gov/cvm/hormones.htm
		+
		+	Not only considering that, eggs do not contain hormones, nor do the chickens that lay eggs in the us.
		+	http://www.incredibleegg.org/egg_facts_questions2.html
		+	http://www.poultryegg.org/faq/faq.cfm
		+
		+	It's a misleading statement, and should be edited out.

		+	== The Cake Is a Lie ==
		+
		+	[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_cake_is_a_lie#Story How's this for a reference?] The popular Internet meme "the cake is a lie" comes from the game Portal...no spoilers here, but for those who have played, the use of cake to entrap Homestar does seem kinda similar...
