The Exploitation of Indian Farmer Suicides

May 5, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in GMOs, India | 125 comments

Order Ativan Online From The Economist’s Demography and Development blog, several months ago: FACTS can be stubborn – and irritating. It is satisfying—perhaps even gratifying—to accept the idea that genetically modified crops are causing thousands of Indian farmers to commit suicide (as this article claims). The notion seems plausible: farmers take out higher debts on the promise that GM seeds… Tramadol 50 Mg Price Continue Reading…

I recently gave a talk on agricultural biotechnology and the media to a graduate class taught by Calestous Juma at Harvard’s Kennedy school. I spoke about the frankenfood meme, the Monsanto effect and slanted journalism.

The anti-GMO troops in the United States received some unwelcome news this week from Margaret Hamburg, commissioner of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

The Right to Be Manipulated

https://disneycruisinggroup.com/openingdaypricing/ The list of supermarkets, companies and restaurants hopping aboard the anti-GMO train keeps growing.

How Does Crop Biotechnology Help Food Security?

February 26, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, biotechnology, GMOs, select, sustainability | 74 comments

In the U.S. food is taken for granted. There are well-stocked supermarkets and no shortage of cookbooks and eateries to indulge appetites. This bountiful supply allows Americans to focus more on the aesthetics of food and, to an increasing degree, where and how it is produced.

February 24, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, biotechnology, GMOs, science journalism | 18 comments

Hydrocodone Purchase Online The fundamentally flawed and distorted climate reporting by David Rose in the UK’s Daily Mail is often called out by science journalists and bloggers. His repeated misrepresentation of climate scientists has prompted the UK’s Met office to publicly respond on numerous occasions. It’s unfortunate that one reporter continues to flout basic journalistic principles on an…Continue Reading…

Buy Prednisone Online Without Prescription The politicized and polarized nature of the climate debate is well established.

The Frothy Anti-GMO Stew

February 10, 2014 by Keith Kloor | Filed in agriculture, biotechnology, GMOs | 32 comments

Have you ever wondered why some people are fearful of GMOs? Even if you shake your head at this question, it is important to ponder because most discussions of genetically modified crops are shaped more by emotions than facts. This is why the evidence-driven search for truth by Nathanael Johnson was not appreciated by anti-GMO food…Continue Reading…

Why Do Greens Reject the Science on GMOs?

Diazepam Online Purchase Last month, I got a chuckle out of this silver lining from a New Republic article: The liberals who rant about genetically modified food may be pushing a point of view that is objectively as crazy as believing carbon emissions are not causing global warming; but liberals are still more likely (and willing) to get…Continue Reading…
