Anonymous Coward User ID: 550163 United States 11/13/2008 12:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's all about Global Population Reduction: GM crops found to affect reproduction in mice: Austrian study Quoting: No Mo Babies 4 You 549331VIENNA (AFP) – Genetically-modified maize can affect reproduction in mice, an Austrian study has found, although its authors have dismissed warnings by environmental groups that it could also harm humans. The long-term study, which was commissioned by the Austrian health ministry, found that female mice that had been given a diet consisting of 33 percent genetically-modified (GM) maize had fewer babies and fewer litters than those fed on non-GM food after a few generations. But the authors of the study were keen to point out that these were only initial findings and that further tests were needed to confirm the effect of GM foods on other animals and on humans. "This is an isolated case and the results cannot in any way be applied to humans," the Austrian health and food safety agency AGES, which presented the study by Vienna's University of Veterinary Medicine (VUW) Tuesday, said in a statement. "Confirmation of these preliminary results is urgently needed through further studies," the study's author, Juergen Zentek, added. Environmental groups like Global 2000 and Greenpeace were quick to seize on the study to call for a ban on all GM crops. "Considering the severity of the potential threat to human health and reproduction, Greenpeace is demanding a recall of all GE (genetically-engineered) food and crops from the market, worldwide," the group said in a statement. Distributing GM foods was "like playing Russian roulette with consumers and public health," added Greenpeace's GM expert Jan van Aken. EU Health Commissioner Androulla Vassiliou has requested a copy of the study and will then pass it on to the European food safety authority for expertise, her spokeswoman said.

Hanged Man (OP) User ID: 530585 United States 11/13/2008 01:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack’s name has been tossed around for a week as a potential Cabinet appointee in the new Obama administration, but now a Washington, D.C., publication says he’s the “frontrunner” to be agriculture secretary. Congressional Quarterly reported Tuesday that Vilsack “has emerged as the frontrunner” for the post. It cited congressional aides, interest groups and people close to the transition. Congressional aides said Wednesday they have heard the talk that Vilsack is in the running. But none could gauge his chances. The Obama transition office declined to comment Wednesday. And Matt Paul, Vilsack’s former spokesman, said Wednesday “this is all speculation.” Talk about potential Cabinet appointments has run rampant since Obama’s election last week, much of it citing anonymous sources — or other media reports. Vilsack, who launched his own brief bid for the presidency in 2007, backed Hillary Clinton before the Iowa caucuses. After, however, he campaigned for Obama in the general election. He is now a resident fellow at Harvard’s Institute of Politics. Vilsack couldn’t be reached Wednesday. Others mentioned as possible appointees are Tom Buis, the president of the National Farmers Union, and former Rep. Charles Stenholm of Texas. If Vilsack were to be picked, he would be the first Iowan to be appointed agriculture secretary since Henry Wallace in the 1930s. A spokeswoman for U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said Vilsack would be an excellent choice. “Gov. Vilsack has a strong record in Iowa on building opportunities in agriculture, renewable energy and conservation,” spokeswoman Kate Cyrul said. “Sen. Harkin has been a supporter from the time Tom Vilsack ran for governor to the time he ran for president and believes he would be a strong secretary of agriculture.” Harkin chairs the Senate Agriculture Committee.

Dang Them to hell User ID: 429261 United States 11/15/2008 09:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was just thinking about absolute evil and Monsanto came to mind. Because the terminator seed (seed that grow plants that cannot reproduce) are the work of the devil and Monsanto is what evil is all about. Can you imagine when the economy totally collapses and we are trying to grow our own food and we discover that our seed die off ... because some shitty executive at Monsanto wanted to increase profits? I won't judge them but God and Jesus will and I'm sure they will be found wanting during the spiritual harvest of souls. . |
