U.S. Calls on Europe to Ease Limits on Gene-Altered Food
The New York TIMES is reporting this seemingly wretched news.. It reports this from Brussels:
The top American agriculture official on Tuesday called on the European Union to do more to ease restrictions on gene-altered food and feed crops if it hoped to reach a trans-Atlantic trade pact.
“There can’t be a trade agreement without a serious and significant commitment to agriculture,” the official, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, told reporters on Tuesday, a day after an informal meeting with European farm ministers. European consumers “ought to have a choice” whether to use biotech foods, he said.
Mr. Vilsack has a tough case to make, though. There continues to be deep resistance to bioengineered agricultural products in the European Union — or to easing many other agricultural trade protections, for that matter. The fight over food, in fact, is a big impediment to progress in talks that are already moving more slowly than officials on both sides had wanted when President Obama announced them last year.
Very disappointing..
And in some ironic twist, this is simultaneously happening: Obama is forming a team to study Colony Collapse of bees.
So while the United States is busy defending GMO food as safe and secure, it’s also going to face some rude awakenings as they get deep into the honey bee trench. Many global studies have already hinted as a cause: GMOs and Monsanto’s Roundup..
But….
The American study may very well have a different conclusion. After all, Vilsack is telling the UK to accept more bioengineered food. Maybe some cozy relationships of the past is adding fuel to the cause..

The ethics of storm chasing. And watching it
A very interesting story is appearing in SLATE today..A former stormchaser now thinks the idea of chasing severe weather is unethical..
I will be upfront: I love watching live storm coverage, especially hurricane and tornado reports. But I equally think news forecasters who are paid by their employer to go into the storm is unethical. If one does it himself or herself, I think it’s based more on a passion.. I always think back to when Vince McMahan made Owen Hart get hoisted over 100 feet above the wrestling ring, and then he fell to his death.It’s a tough call..
Perhaps it could also be said that ‘ghost hunting’ is as unethical if not more so than storm chasers. If you believe in ghosts, that is..

The drug of choice..
Pope Francis speaks out against legalized drugs, citing ‘evil’..
No word on whether he will start using grape juice instead of wine in his chalice..
There’s a kind of hum, all over the world.
Really.. And it’s driving people batty.. Here’s the story from MIC.COM, detailing the very real ‘mysterious hum’ that is driving people insane.. And something from very well-written article I never knew: There is a world hum database on Google..
Could this be a ghost of Alcatraz? That or Michael Myers. Or maybe even William Shatner (who’s was the face of the SHAPE)..
This man’s mugshot is heating up the internet and provoking a backlash..
His name is Jeremy Meeks, and he was arrested during a gang sweep in California..but the mugshot is being shared by women across the net who find him attractive..
An interesting debate on the HOT 93.5 Harrisburg radio Facebook page.. The station is asking women if they would date an attractive man WHO IS A FELON.. Most woman are fine with it.
