There's an article in the New York Times today by Julia Moskin entitled Tatooed Fruit Is On Way.
I'm thinking that the word Tatoo shouldn't be applied to fruit. It is a word that, at least in my mind, carries quite a heavy connotation: indelibly marked for life. And while for me it is not an art form I would personally engage in I can still respect that it is (sometimes) a beautiful art form. But fruit is being marked for marketing purposes not art. What are they trying to tell us? Is the increase in tatoos in the last 10 years an evil attempt by the US government to monitor us? Does each tatoo come with an invisible bar code so that people can be tracked? I think the conspiracy theorists should look into this at once!
