The Stars and the Cookie Jar

I think things like this.

So folic acid is in all the bread products in this country, and it’s in prenatal vitamins. I know I read something that said it was also a known agent for epigenetic changes that could go on in mice to the nth generation. So what if we attached a marker of some kind to the folic acid before the pregnant women ingested it in their vitamins, so that then we could see where it landed on the neural tube of the little jellybean proto-baby? What if folic acid as epigenetic affector is responsible for the spike in autism rates? What if it lands in different places in a developing baby’s cells and then you get a brilliant baby, or a schizophrenic baby, or the aforementioned autistic baby, or a baby with teratogenic complications the size of Cleveland?


...And then I inflict them on my wife.
