| Evo Morales - Eating Chicken Turns Men Into Maricónes |
| 2010-04-23 |
| Bolivian President Evo Morales was under fire on Wednesday for suggesting that eating hormone-injected chicken could provoke male deviance at a global climate change summit. Bolivia's opposition and homosexual groups criticized comments made by Morales at the first "people's conference" on climate change the previous day, in which he said that chicken producers inject birds with female hormones and "when men eat those chickens, they experience deviances in being men." The Bolivian president also suggested that the European diet made men go bald. Spain's National Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals sent a protest letter to the Bolivian embassy of Madrid, calling Morales remarks "homophobic." The president of Argentina's homosexual community, Cesar Cigliutti, said: "It's an absurdity to think that eating hormone-containing chicken can change the sexual orientation of a person." "By following that reasoning, if we put male hormones in a chicken and we make a homosexual eat it, he will transform into a heterosexual," he added, in online comments. Right-wing Bolivian deputy Andres Ortega criticized Morales for recounting "urban legends" at the conference which sought to draft new proposals for the next UN climate talks in Mexico at the end of the year. "I thought it was a place to talk about science and real and positive things about preserving the environment," Ortega said. Thousands of environmental activists, indigenous leaders and ecologists were taking part in the three-day summit focusing on the world's poorest, whom they say were largely ignored at official UN-sponsored climate talks in Copenhagen last December. Morales on Wednesday announced the creation of an international movement to protect the Earth which would promote a world tribunal for climate issues and a global referendum on environmental choices. Developing nations have resisted a legally binding climate treaty, arguing that wealthy nations must bear the primary responsibility for climate change. |

| #19 Manhood is too precious a thing to be risked in that way. ;-) You're right! From now on, it's only water for me that has been saturated by estrogens that have been disposed of in the area's toilets. The man-boobs phenomenom as I have seen it Now that RB is T&A-free, this gives me an idea. TW, it'll be just water and KFC for me from now on. Excuse me, I have to go shopping for a jumprope and a full-length mirror now. |

| #16 Morales on Wednesday announced the creation of an international movement to protect the Earth which would promote a world tribunal for climate issues and a global referendum on environmental choices. All to be run by the man who thinks that eating chicken makes you gay... |

| #15 it would be safest to give up eating altogether Not to mention better for the environment, more earth-friendly, carbon-neutral ... |

| #14 Does this mean I shouldn't eat eggs, either? gorb, it would be safest to give up eating altogether. Nowadays there's no way of knowing what might contain chicken products. Especially vegetables, fertilized as they might be by chicken offal or chicken poop... particularly the stuff labelled as organic. Manhood is too precious a thing to be risked in that way. ;-) |

| #11 Perhaps there was a mistranslation from the french word for chicken, cuz this does not account for the womenz. Lumpy, I think if that were the case as the vegans make it, there would be a lot more of it. The man-boobs phenomenom as I have seen it likely has more to do with a lifestyle which encourages such physical reactions, that is the ones I know seem to couple the diet change with walking, biking, jogging etc. They tell me its the rice and beans but they go through shoes a little more often than they had. I have also seen the ones who change their diet without the physical team-up and they have triceps like mush just like before. Its about calorie in/calorie out and IMHO has more to do with people just not learning or caring about their physical vessel. There are those who have physical/psychological issues to contend with - my arguement is that there are those who choose to confront that reality and then those who say phucket. Diet is important, there is no doubt about that, a person cannot just shovel garbage through orafices and hope for the best. A person must be intimate and honest enough with themself to know what is and more importantly what is not appropriate to injest. |

| #10 You produce milk in a dairy not a feedlot, and to my knowledge this method of increasing meat production ended or never started many years ago. Chicken? who cares |

| #9 However, chicken and dairy producers, as well as many feedlots, give the livestock estrogen to increase milk production and fatten them up quickly for market. Bullshit. No matter what you feed chickens, you will never increase their milk production. |

| #8 His first name just seems like it *should* be a Romance language noun for "egg". Huevo's the closest I could get, though. |

| #7 Sounds like he has a sudden "Shortage" in the Man department and is desperate to blame anything other than himself. |

| #6 Evo Morales - Eating Chicken Turns Men Into Maricónes LMAO! Best title I've seen since I started reading here (not long ago). I keep picturing two famous people declaring this: Al Pacino in Scarface and Speedy Gonzales. |

| #5 "The Bolivian president also suggested that the European diet made men go bald." And in related news, the Bolivian President has yet to recieve a protest letter from The European Hair Club for Men. |

| #4 I love it when the Libs eat their own. However, chicken and dairy producers, as well as many feedlots, give the livestock estrogen to increase milk production and fatten them up quickly for market. Marbles them well, like a woman's hiney. Vegans rant about estrogen-driven cancers and the weight gain the hormones cause, including "man-boobs". I personally buy organic eggs, milk, and grass-fed, hormone-free beef and chicken but certainly never have had the urge to cross-dress! |
