Genetic Modifications
i have been wanting to do a blog post about what i learnt, or more importantly, what has been brought to my attention, in my cultural perspectives (on science and technology) lecture on tuesday.
Genetic modification/engineering of seed, and other foods.
u dont know all the facts, and i dont have enough confidence in the knowledge that i do have of it, which is why i have been reluctant to discuss it so far.
but i feel something needs to be said.
(my boss sent me to
this website. check it out. the language is majorly emotive, but what they are saying is true.)
it scares me sometimes, thinking about this. the desire to stick my head in the ground and ignor it is so appealing. simply because there is so much to understand, and you are going against the government.
and even me mentioning this is going to make half of you think that im a greenie, or a hippy, and a complete nut case!
i am struggleing with what to tell you.
tell me what you think. i would love to discuss this with people, to broaden my knowledge and to know your views.
i had a post but it was modifide
i think there is a lot of misinformation from both sides which makes it very hard to form a true opinian
i forgot what i was going to say on teh matter.... oh yes i remember :)
something about in brazil they refused to import, the only way of selling a product to the people was to have a plant in the country, so they had to.
just thought it was somehow relevant ....
