Bottled Water, More Harm Than Good

Even though the original article was published on December 9, 2003, it is still mind-boggling. It is a long article but it is a good read, consider the following statements from the article.

 

Action Alert!

Stop EPA Approval of Toxic Pesticides

 

Do Your Part, Sign The Petition

Action Alert: Stop the Commercial Release of Genetically Engineered Plums

 

Say “No” to GM Foods

Get your food at a local farmer's market this summer. Why be a victim of genetically modified foods when you have a choice not to? It doesn't get easier than this where you have local farmers right in your city.

Here's something to help you find that friendly local farmer.

When you buy from them you not only keep away from GM foods but also help our local farmers to stay in business and keep that good food coming.

 

Genetically Modified Foods, Be Aware

I am an Electrical Engineer concentrating my day-to-day thoughts and activities on computers/IT and what have you. I surely have heard of genetically modified (GM) foods in the past but it didn't strike my thoughts enough for me to go researching on it and obviously I won't research on each and everything I hear about. People are usually skeptical to anybody who is trying to educate the general public, in essence making them aware of the potential dangers. Point being we need to be open minded and look into things that we would generally don't care about when a friend comes along and tells you to because he thinks it is the right thing to do - make you aware. I didn't go looking into GM foods until I met someone who's a student and is trying to make people aware about it. Here's a little conversation between us:

Me: "So what are you doing after class?"
Her: "We are showing an awareness movie about genetically modified foods"
Me: "Eh? What's wrong with genetically modified foods?"

So here's what I am trying to say, I had no idea how bad it is until I sat down in front of my computer and looked it up. Granted that people are busy and have no time to read on anything else but would 15-20 minutes of research really hurt you? You are making a difference. I am having a hard time just writing about it because this is not what I do, I can write a pretty good article on anything related to computers or electrical engineering but I am just trying to make people aware because I believe it would make a difference. Yes, this is a poorly written article and you will find exceptionally better articles about awareness and genetically foods but if just one person becomes aware from reading this article I would consider myself succeeded on what I am trying to do.

I haven't written one single word on the consequences of GM foods but that's not what my goal is today. I am just urging you to go look it up or as they say "Google it".
