Industrial Insanity

I'm starting this post as a place to archive information about industrial insanity...as our global food system continues to disintegrate due to non-sustainable methods, the floundering scientists will attempt to fix their problems with additional technological "advances" because the alternative, small organic food production, is not an option for them. As Scooby-Doo would say, "Ruh-roh".

Genetic Modification particularly freaks me out. This is very scary stuff, folks. Once the modified genes are unleashed, there may be no going back...

I begin with a link to an article about a GM corn being tested now that will help keep phosphorus out of pig poop, which is a problem in watershed...

Note how they make it sound like they're tree huggers, wanting to cut down on pollution...

The next is about another genetic modification, but this time of grass, to reduce methane in cow poop...

I feel like I need to collect all of these so we can better be aware of how quickly our environment is being endangered. Sorry folks, but when you buy conventional food, you have no way of knowing if it contains GM ingredients. I feel like we need some screaming to get politicians talking about this...wanna join me? "Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh...!"
