Presently, the food prices have skyrocketed throughout the world, developed countries no exceptions. Scientists and world leaders are searching for quickfix solution for this, so as to keep their inflation under control.

Some fans of the organically-focused Rodale Institute’s stellar work were surprised to learn that they are incorporated genetically modified (GM) crop varieties into their Farming Systems Trial (FST).But the inclusion of GM varieties and agrichemical treatments is for scientific comparison purposes only. They will present a real-life comparison with Rodale’s normal organic practices.

Many of you are already very familiar with genetically-modified food and the terrible impact it can have on your health.I found a great article that contains practical steps that we all can take to avoid this garbage food and eat healthy.After all, who wants to eat corn that has pesticide already grown INSIDE of it????And the sad thing is the "environmentalists" mostly ignore this terrible crisis.

Baltimore — (TFN): The food crisis of 2008 is much different from any that we’ve seen in years past. It’s not about famine in one country anymore. It’s about poverty and malnutrition worldwide. Fifteen percent of the world’s population lives on just one dollar a day. With food costs rising on average by [...]

Genetically modified human embryo stirs criticism
By MALCOLM RITTER, AP Science Writer
News that scientists have for the first time genetically altered a human embryo is drawing fire from some watchdog groups that say it’s a step toward creating “designer babies.”
But an author of the study says the work was focused on stem cells. He notes that [...]
I was really surprised when I first read about this yesterday. I didn’t know that Malaysia is playing with God’s creations to such extent!I wonder what would be next. Genetically modified pigs that look cute and adorable?Anyhow, there is nothing wrong with genetic engineering in Islam if we go by the following Fatwa issued on the 17th of September 2006 by IslamWeb Dot Net. I do like to ask the government one thing though, can they guarantee that those genetically modified mosquitoes would not affect our living hood, environment and ecosystem in some other mysterious ways?There is no religious prohibition for using artificial insemination or what is called genetic engineering in plants and animals eugenics, if this does not lead to any harm.

10 reasons why organic can feed the world

Seeds are not simply a source of food; they are living testimony to more than 10,000 years of agricultural domestication. Tragically, however, they are a resource that has suffered unprecedented neglect. The UN FAO estimates that 75 per cent [...]
The mice have been genetically modified to get rid of certain smell receptors in their brains which react to the odors of cats. Usually mice freeze and play dead when they smell a cat, but these mutant mice just go about life as usual.

What is a Genetically Modified Organism?
This is a plant, animal or microbe that has received, through laboratory techniques, a copy of a gene that gives it a desirable property.
What is a gene?
A gene is a piece of the substance DNA, which controls a particular property. For example, a gene may control the color of a [...]
Bring a miracle of science to your aquarium, and own the hottest, most talked about, most beautiful new fish in our lifetime!
GloFish fluorescent fish are beautiful and unique freshwater fish that were originally bred to help detect environmental pollutants. By adding a natural fluorescence gene to the fish, scientists hope to one day quickly and easily determine when our waterways are contaminated. To achieve their goal of helping to fight water pollution, scientists are in the process of adding a “switch” that will cause the always fluorescing GloFish zebra fish to selectively fluoresce in the presence of environmental toxins. A non-fluorescing fish will signal that the water is safe, while a fluorescing fish will signal trouble.

GloFish® fluorescent fish are available at retail locations near you with a suggested retail price of approximately $5.00, however, actual prices may vary. Also, please remember that GloFish® fluorescent fish are intended for
Watch this video about how food production around the world has developed and become degraded as new farming methods have produced masses of reduced nutrient crops. It gives frightening details of how scientists go about producing genetically modified crops - see if you want to eat them after watching this. It is really no wonder that the population has become increasingly under-nourished as the foods we eat contain ever-increasing chemical fertilisers and pesticides and ever-decreasing levels of vitamins and minerals. .There are several more videos in the "future of food series". Fight against genetically modified, pesticide dosed, nutrient poor foods - check labels for gm foods and buy organic whenever you can. Love Suz x
Bully Monsanto is trying to get Mexico to plant its genetically modified corn, but Mexico is resisting. Mexico's agriculture department banned Monsanto and other companies from planting any GM corn in an effort to preserve the pure and ancient varieties Mexico has been growing for hundreds of years. But this is unlikely the last word on the matter, as Monsanto is standing firm and is won't give up until it gets its way.
Bullying elsewhere: These companies, via the American Soybean Association, are in the process of bullying the EU over their restrictions on GM soybeans. They will not be satisfied until they own all major crops the world over.
While Dominique de Villepin exposed his ego to the UN spotlights among actual world leaders, Nicolas Sarkozy paid a visit to a fellow White House nominee for the Supreme Court of New Europe Courtisans, Poland's Donald Tusk.Tusk had already met with yet another neocon favorite, Angela Merkel, and received the support of a longtime US Christian Fundamentalists' icon, Lech Walesa. Sarkozy also shook the hand of this great servant of Mother Amerika.Merkel is suffering a tough campaign but Tusk is left with no opponent since Wlodziemierz Cimoszewicz, the man who weeks ago was supposed to win the elections, gave up after a smear campaign so perfectly led it could have been directed by The Great Architect himself (a walk in the park considering the quality of the building material : oil scandal).
