A community portal about Genetically modified food with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: A genetically modified food is a product developed from a different genetically modified organism such as a crop plant, animal or microorganisms, such as snails. Genetically modified foods produced by genetic engineering have been available since the 1990s. The principal GM foods derived from plants are soybean, maize, canola, cocoa beans, and cotton seed oil.
(NaturalNews) A report from the British Royal Society has been released that urges support for genetically-modified foods by the British public in order to address what it deems the world's growing demand for food. The report also reveals the disturbing reality about just how far genetically-modified (GM) foods have already penetrated the food supply in England, despite widespread public rejection of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) roughly a decade ago. Over the years, Brits have been... Read Full Story

Sometimes when you have been doing something for a long time, you forget that others may not know some of the basic things you take for granted. I recently posted an article called If You Are Starting A Garden - Count The Cost. In it I mentioned that one reason seed companies have developed genetically modified plants is so that they can spray them with Roundup for easier harvest. When I wrote that, I forgot that new gardeners may not know what Roundup is so I... Read Full Story
As the genetically modified (GM) food industry is really starting to take off, controversy is increasing over whether people want to eat GM foods and if they should be labeled or not. Surveys show that most Americans want GM food products to be labeled
as such, but so far the food industry is getting it’s way—a way that
critics say leaves consumers in the dark. Earlier this year rice
modified to contain human proteins gained approval for large-scale
planting, and is taking root in Kansas... Read Full Story

For the last week I have been drinking organic, coffee that is. I must say the coffee sucks. Not because it is organic, it is just a bad roast. It got me thinking this morning about the effects of both Organic Farming and Genetically Modified Food. The prospect of “super” coffee is all too tempting for me.
Let’s face facts here. Organic food costs too much. I got my coffee on sale. I personally like the idea of less pollutants in my food and my environment. I may buy more organic if the... Read Full Story
GM food is an emotive issue, but is too emotive? It seems to me that many people are automatically against modifying crops but don’t really know why.
Indeed, it seems unnatural to mess with our food, but is it worth considering GM’s potential? And what about claims that GM could help developing world countries feed their populations?
In his new Horizon documentary for BBC2, celebrity sustainable farmer Jimmy Doherty looks at this burning issue. He travels to the USA, Argentina and Uganda... Read Full Story
Albert Einstein once said : “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.” Apocalyptic for sure. We haven't reached that point yet, but some worrisome indicators suggest dramatic drops in the bee population of the US are likely to impact crop production. This is not a small agricultural sector that is being impacted either. In the US bees pollinate more... Read Full Story
One thing is for sure: we are not eating the same food our grandparents ate. Science continues to invade our pabulum, and it is here to stay. The most recent contribution: On January 16th the FDA approved meat and milk use from most cloned animals. No labeling is required, since they have deemed the clones to be identical to non-cloned animals. Hmmm. Is this science or science fiction ? I thought back to another scientific contribution to our food chain. Remember DDT ? In 1948, a Nobel Prize... Read Full Story
