Hi, The new TMEN that i complained about in an earlier post does have a fairly good article this month regarding GE foods. Personally I say we ought not to be messing around with what God hath wrought.

The newest Organic Gardening has a report available about GE foods. I believe it is free. You can probably see it on their web site www.organicgardening.com

Just as a note here -- we began questioning GE foods, chemicals, additives, preservatives, etc., etc., etc. (the list is LONG!) about two months ago when I REALLY began to lose patience with my 4YO's behaviour. The outcome? six weeks ago, I cleaned house of all of it -- nothing that I don't know where it comes from or who it was grown by has passed our lips since. I now have the little boy I cuddle to sleep every night -- all day long. His behavior has made such a radical change that when he was at a neighbors yesterday and came home acting like his previous self, I asked what he'd been given to eat. Very proudly, he announced "an orange popsicle!" -- I knew it.

Further to the GE foods thing -- there isn't much on your supermarket shelves that ISN'T GE in some way -- an ingredient, a process, whatever. The only way to squash this is take the politics out of food production. Right, not likely! So, do YOU want to find out that that luscious tomato has human/pig/flower/fish DNA added to make it grow bigger, brighter, redder or stay fresh longer? Right. Plan a bigger garden this year -- that's what we're doing.

Question -- Little Bit -- what is TMEN??? I sense an untapped resource here!!!

The Mother Earth News, a second rate, yet lightly entertaining magazine that is worth the price if you need reading material more than money. In my humble (right!) opinion. GL!

Hi, Brad!! Thanks -- I didn't get it, now I do. I've picked up a couple copies of Mother Earth -- I didn't find it very useful -- a lot of stuff that rich people might buy/use/do if money is no object, I thought. Unfortunately, I don't qualify!!!
