The poor worms!!!

First glucose, then antioxidants - this cannot be a normal diet for worms!!! Why don't they leave the poor worms alone???!!! Where are the PETA protests???!!! And how many worm study findings are borne out in humans, who eventually become one of the natural feeding grounds for worms?

Plenaria (flatworms), fed the ground up remains of other plenaria which had been taught to negotiate a maze, were able to find their ways through the maze without further training.... This has provoked much controversy over whether human students would benefit from being fed the ground-up remains of their professors...
