haha sorry XD

I feel pretty similarly about the issue. Just about everything we do ends up hurting us in some form or another. And yet life expectancy keeps increasing. I personally don't see how GM food could be so bad. I eat taco bell all the time, and their meat is like grade F. If that doesn't kill me, I have a hard time thinking rice with extra vitamin A will do me in. P.S., .... life expectancy is increasing because of medicine, not because of diet. Japan is #1 in life expectancy with 79.9 average years, whereas the U.S. is #21 with 76.8 average years. (Forces.org) We all know Japan has the best diet around the world, so... you figure it out =p

This is a pretty big deal to me so I'm kind of excited you brought it up este =p Personally I think genetically modified / engineered foods are extremely unnatural and risque and are a breeding grounds for all sorts of environmental as well as medical damage. Now.... how many Americans feel that way? Some may look at the "benefits" and think "oh that sounds great whatever" if they even take time to look at them. In reality most people will buy these foods because they are CHEAP. Genetically modified foods are cheaper to produce. For example: Granny Smith Apples sell for $.79 at Stop N' Shop. Nature's Promise Organic Granny Smith Apples, which are exactly the same only organically produced, sell for $1.09 at the same store - a different of $.30. That may not seem like a lot initially, but anyone who has gone grocery shopping before knows thats a pretty significant difference. As some of you may or may not know theres been an extreme boost in interest in organically produced food in America as of late. Many products now proudly carry an organic label and organic sections of grocery strores are increasing in size. It is evident that educated [think the average New Yorker] American consumers are interested in organically grown food, and prefer it to genetically modified food. So I must ask... how many of you have seen a "Genetically Modified" section at your local grocery store? Are there stickers on your fruits and vegetables with a "Genetically Modified" label? No.. we see terms like "seedless" and "extra large", which do not indicate just how they got seedless or extra large. Shouldn't GM companies be proud of this scientific development? How many people are pleased when they see the words "artificial additives" associated with their foods? If you bite into a genetically modified apple and an organic apple no, there isn't going to be that much taste difference, if any at all. But what about behind the taste? Here is a link to an article eloquently entitled "Fish blood the key to low-fat ice cream". Mmm, fish blood. An exerpt for the lazy: "The protein has been chemically sythensised and can be grown in vast vats which produce a brownish liquid. This is added to the ice cream and lowers the temperature at which ice crystals form and the shape they take up. It is claimed a stiff and solid mixture can then be created by using less cream or fat." I could go on forever but I'm just going to throw in this website if you are further interested. "Antibiotic Threat – Via Milk Cows injected with rBGH have a much higher level of udder infections and require more antibiotics. This leaves unacceptable levels of antibiotic residues in the milk. Scientists have warned of public health hazards due to growing antibiotic resistance." I'm gonna get a little sexist for a bit.... now I see a lot of you guys [literally guys] have the general "I can eat anything and I feel fine, I don't give a crap what its made out of as long as it tastes great" attitude... and being concerned about your diet / eating healthy foods is more of a "woman thing" than something guys do. As someone whose father has a personal vendetta against tofu I recognize this, but... I don't really understand it. Allow me to throw in some figures: The American man lives 5.4 years fewer than does the average woman. In 2002, male life expectancy was 74.5 years. Female life expectancy was 79.9 years. (Mayo Clinic) In 2002, heart disease was the #1 killer of men. Heart disease is mainly caused by high cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure, all effects of a poor diet. Prostate cancer and colorectal cancer — both of which are associated with a high-fat diet — are the second- and third-leading causes of cancer death in men. (Mayo Clinic) So c'mon guys... don't let your manliness try to influence your diet =p Well I'm done preaching... but I hope I've made some of you at least think about what you're eating. It's a lot more than just "food", its fuel for your body, mind, and spirit. ABC for green party prezident!!!! Thx 4 wotching!!!!
