|I know the U.S. government just allowed a few new GE crops on the market — should I be worried?
February 2011
Dear Farm Aid,
I know the U.S. government just allowed a few new GE crops on the market — should I be worried?
Thanks for any info you can provide!
Jerry K.
With a new mission to squash "burdensome" regulation and play nice with U.S. businesses, the Obama Administration has been in a frenzy green-lighting genetically engineered (GE) crops.
Just weeks into the new year, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack announced the full deregulation of Monsanto's Roundup Ready alfalfa—a genetically engineered crop variety designed to withstand Monsanto's Roundup herbicide. The move gave the OK for commercial planting to take place this spring without restrictions. A week later, USDA announced the deregulation of Monsanto's Roundup Ready sugar beets, followed by the deregulation of Syngenta's Enogen corn, a variety genetically engineered for biofuel production. Meanwhile, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is now considering the commercial release of genetically modified salmon.
With a new onslaught of GE products hitting the market it's no wonder the public has some questions, as you do, Jerry. So, what's the big deal about genetic engineering?
The short and not-so-sweet of it is this: GE crops present real risks, fewer choices for both farmers and eaters and offer unclear benefits except to the companies that develop and market them, and thus pocket major profits.
Risky Business for Farmers
Take alfalfa, which is pollinated by bees. Bees can generally cover a five-mile range as they buzz from plant to plant, collecting and spreading pollen. Since bees don't tend to observe property lines or fences, GE alfalfa pollen could, for example, be spread to and pollinate a non-GE alfalfa plant, in turn contaminating a neighboring field with GE genes.
This cross-fertilization would be especially disastrous for organic farmers. If organic fields are contaminated, an organic farmer's certification is at risk, since the use of GE crops is prohibited under the organic label. Losing organic certification would mean his or her goods can no longer be sold for the premium price that helps cover the higher costs of growing organically. Organic livestock farmers would face similar consequences if their cattle consumed contaminated alfalfa, and the organic industry as a whole could suffer from severe supply problems if organic alfalfa can't be maintained with integrity. Canada's organic canola industry suffered this fate, and is virtually extinct due to contamination from GE canola.[1]
GE contamination hurts conventional farmers too. A prime example occurred in 2000, when genes from Aventis' StarLink GE corn showed up unexpectedly in the nation's food supply and U.S. export markets. While StarLink corn only represented 1% of planted corn acreage, it ultimately contaminated at least 25% of the harvest that year.[2] Traces of StarLink corn also showed up in taco shells, even though the variety wasn't approved for human consumption. The fiasco led to a massive recall of over 300 food products. Export markets started rejecting American corn and corn prices plummeted.[3] Corn farmers ultimately filed a class-action lawsuit against Aventis, who forked over $112 million in settlement. Three years later, StarLink genetics were still detected in the U.S. corn supply, well after the crop was pulled from the market.[4] Millers and food manufacturers are concerned the same thing will happen with Syngenta's Enogen corn intended for biofuel production, which could contaminate corn for human consumption and seriously threaten foods processed with corn–based ingredients.
USDA recognized such risks when it conducted an environmental impact statement (EIS) for GE alfalfa. This past December, Secretary Vilsack acknowledged "the potential of cross-fertilization to non-GE alfalfa from GE alfalfa — a significant concern for farmers who produce for non-GE markets at home and abroad."[5] Despite such concern, USDA approved the planting of GE alfalfa for this spring without any indication of how it will prevent the type of costly contamination that threatens to occur.
Into the Wild: "Superweeds" and other environmental hazards
Superweeds undermine the environmental benefits that GE crops are claimed to offer by reducing soil tillage, pesticide applications and soil and water contamination.[7] Affected farmers must now resort to more toxic chemicals, increased labor or more intense tillage of their fields to address superweeds on their farms. The newly approved Roundup Ready alfalfa and sugar beets will only exacerbate that problem. And as companies like Bayer, Syngenta and Dow Chemical work on their own pesticide-resistant crops (including one designed to resist 2,4-D, a component of Agent Orange!),[8] even nastier superweeds may be on the horizon, with even nastier pesticides being used to control them in the ever-escalating arms race against weeds and pests.
GE crops pose additional environment risks, such as threats to biodiversity or unintentional harm to other insects and animals in the ecosystem, many of which are beneficial to crop production. But remember, there's absolutely no recall on GE genetics. Once they're out there, they're out there for good. What's more, once a crop is fully deregulated, USDA currently conducts no monitoring of any kind to see if a GE crop has harmed the environment.[9] To date, we are completely unequipped to deal with all of these consequences. (For more on how GE crops are regulated, see this Ask Farm Aid column from 2009).
Do I eat GE foods?
Remember that the vast majority of our corn and soy come from GE seed, and that these crops are generally used as feed for cattle, hogs and poultry, or otherwise used in the many processed foods found in grocery store aisles. Alfalfa is the fourth largest crop grown in the U.S. and is most commonly used to feed dairy cows and beef cattle.
So, if you drink milk, eat beef, enjoy the occasional slice of bacon with your breakfast, order chicken in your Caesar salad or ever indulge in processed foods, cereals and desserts with ingredients like high fructose corn syrup and soy lecithin, GE crops are part of your food chain. Unfortunately, you can't be sure when you eat them or in what form, because there is no requirement to label foods with GE ingredients. As discussed above, the release of GE alfalfa also puts several organic foods at risk for contamination—further eroding our choice as consumers to avoid GE foods if we wish.
Little research has been conducted to examine whether GE foods present risks to human health—such as allergens or toxins—but it seems prudent that this be investigated rigorously before GE foods hit the market. Many countries, including countries of the European Union, Japan, Australia and Brazil, have banned the cultivation of GE crops or require labeling of GE foods as precautions.
Feeding the World? The Silver Bullet That Misses the Target
But to date, GE crops have done little to address hunger worldwide—yield results have been mixed globally, and are nominal for America's family farmers. A recent study of historical yield data in the U.S. found that herbicide-resistant genetics in GE corn and soy didn't increase yield any more than conventional methods.[10] Perhaps more importantly, the GE varieties hitting the market aren't focused on yield in the first place. Developing a crop for herbicide resistance or biofuel production is quite different than selecting for plant traits that encourage plant growth, drought resistance or other traits that would actually help address food security worldwide. Moreover, companies haven't invested their dollars in the staple crops of food insecure populations worldwide, such as millet, quinoa or cassava. We will need much more than Roundup Ready alfalfa to solve world hunger.
The Seedier Side of GE: Who Benefits
Most GE crops hitting the market are developed by multinational companies such as Monsanto, Syngenta, Dupont and Dow Chemical to increase their sales and push their related pesticides. For example, Roundup Ready crops are all engineered to withstand Monsanto's toxic herbicide Roundup. With Roundup Ready alfalfa and sugar beets on the market, Monsanto can expect increased profits from its new seeds, as well as increased sales of Roundup herbicide to douse all those new seeds.
GE crops are also patented, which grants several privileges to corporate seed giants. For example, companies have repeatedly restricted independent research on the risks and benefits of GE products, which is perfectly legal under patent law, but severely limits objective examination of the efficacy and safety of GE crops.[11] If that weren't bad enough, patents have given companies the power to pursue lawsuits against farmers for illegally "possessing" patented GE plants without a license. Monsanto has famously sued thousands of individual farmers for patent infringement when their fields were contaminated with GE genes.[12]
With the power to own and patent genetics, seed companies can demand even more control over the market as a whole. The seed industry has suffered enormous concentration of power in the past few decades, with at least 200 independent seed companies exiting the market in the last fifteen years and four companies now controlling over 50% of the market. This consolidation means farmers have far fewer options for seed varieties. Meanwhile, farmers have seen the sharpest rise in seed prices during the period in which GE crops rose in prominence.[13]
In this sense, the deregulation of new GE varieties comes as a slap in the face to the farmers and eaters who put their trust in the USDA and Department of Justice as they examined antitrust abuses in our food system this past year, including specific investigations into Monsanto and the seed industry. The newest wave of GE products will only further corporate control over our food supply, putting the interests of corporations far before the needs of farmers and eaters.
The bottom line?
Until our regulatory system and the biotech companies themselves properly address the risks inherent in GE crops, farmers and eaters have a right to reject them. Releasing GE crops into the fields without mitigating their risks is gambling with our health, our environment and livelihoods of family farmers.

How to make a perfect panko-crusted chicken
Schnitzel, katsu chicken, by any name, this foolproof dinner is a family favorite. It's also economical because it makes a little chicken go a long way.
Special to The Seattle Times
Breaded chicken cutlet, or schnitzel, as it's known in my house, is a family favorite, and I like it because it's quick to prepare, stretches a little chicken a long way, and makes for a versatile meal because I can serve it simply or dress it up.
A good schnitzel is well-seasoned, crisp on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. It's easy to achieve with a few simple steps. The only trick is to not skip any of them.
Use skinless, boneless chicken breasts, and assume 4 to 6 ounces per serving. Remove the tenders if they're there, then use a sharp knife, held flat, to carefully cut each breast in half horizontally. You want to end up with two large flat pieces and a tender from each breast.
To tenderize, put one or two pieces at a time in a large freezer Ziploc-type bag (to contain the mess) and use the smooth side of a meat mallet to pound the chicken until it is no more than ¼-inch thick.
Pounding the meat breaks up the muscle fibers, resulting in tender chicken every time. If you don't have a mallet, you can use the back of a small frying pan, but you can spend less than $10 on a mallet and you'll have it forever. Season both sides of each cutlet with kosher salt and pepper.
Next, set up three dipping stations (these quantities are for 1 pound of chicken): Spread out a scant ¼ cup flour on a dinner plate; use a fork to whisk 1 egg in a small, wide bowl; and pour about 1 cup panko on another dinner plate. I like to use panko (Japanese breadcrumbs, available in any supermarket's Asian aisle) to make a really crispy crust, but you can use store-bought or homemade breadcrumbs instead.
Dip each piece of chicken into the flour, first one side and then the other, and shake it to remove the excess. Repeat with the eggwash. Last, lay the chicken on the panko and press it gently to get the panko to adhere, then turn it over and repeat. Make sure it is well covered. You might be tempted to skip the flour dip, but don't — it gives the egg something to stick to. An even egg coating makes an even crust, which will help to ensure juicy chicken.
Heat 1/8- to ¼-inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add a layer of chicken pieces. The chicken should sizzle as soon as it touches the oil.
Use tongs to lift a corner from time to time to check the color. When the breasts are golden, turn them over. If it's browning too quickly, lower the heat (or the chicken will be raw in the middle). If it's taking too long, increase the heat (or the crust will be oily and the chicken, dry). As the pieces finish cooking through, drain them on paper towel.
Serve with a lemon wedge, or go fancy by dressing a big handful of arugula and halved cherry tomatoes with good extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and serve the salad right on top of the chicken. Or spread the cutlets with marinara sauce, top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan, and pop them under the broiler for chicken Parmesan.
By using panko, what you've really made is katsu chicken — just drizzle with tonkatsu sauce (from the Asian aisle or this recipe from Saveur: www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Tonkatsu-Sauce) and serve with sticky rice and boiled edamame.

Lib Dem County Councillor for South Woking and Borough Councillor for Kingfield, Westfield and Barnsbury Learn more
by willforster on July 4, 2014
Woking Borough Council will start the long awaited refurbishment of the Woking Park play area next week.
The Council consulted local residents some time ago on the idea of improving and extending the play area – and drew up an ambitious play to completely refurbish the well-used play area.
The refurbishment works include extending the play area site by reinforcing the embankment by the Pool in the Park to bring these areas back into use as part of the play area. Following a motion to Council from my Lib Dem colleague, Councillor Liam Lyons – there will also be an additional fenced 'dog free' picnic area adjacent to the play area.
Clearly it is far from ideal for Woking Park's play area to be unavailable due to refurbishment during the school summer holidays – I understand the work will take up to 17 weeks, so the play area should be reopened in early November 2014.Read more 4 Comments
So the park will be ready just in time for winter!!!!why wasn't it all started sooner to be ready for the summer holidays????? Ridiculous if you ask me
Ok, so today is early November.
The Park play area still isn't ready to be opened soon.
There's a top head count of 4 workmen on the site at any one point in time.
Any idea of the new ETA?

Dipankar Bandyopadhyay, 38
Send this to a friend
- Matthew Hibbard
- Social Engagement Manager - St. Louis Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook | Google+
When Dipankar Bandyopadhyay started his career at Monsanto Co. in 2002 he was tasked with solving a cotton problem in his native country of India: Insects called bollworms were ruining the country's cotton yields.
Monsanto developed Bollgard Cotton as way to combat insects and reduce excessive pesticide use. It was Bandyopadhyay's job to form a sales force to talk to local farmers about the value of the biotech crop. Through their work, more than 6 million farmers adopted the technology on their farms.
Today, Bandyopadhyay is still in charge of attracting, developing and retaining the right employees for the right job, but on a much larger scale. As vice president of human resources for global research and development, Bandyopadhyay manages the HR department of Monsanto's $1.5 billion R&D organization.
"I see my role as enabling the talent pipeline that delivers our R&D pipeline," he said.
Monsanto has more than 70 projects in the works in R&D, and it advanced 29 in 2014.
Bandyopadhyay, who oversees 25 employees, also helped launch a $15 million HR technology strategy to streamline Monsanto's human resources process, including myHR, a web portal that provides easy access to HR information for employees. Bandyopadhyay worked with 60 people on the project and 150 indirectly, according to Steven Mizell, executive vice president of human resources. The HR strategy was implemented a year ago.
"Dipankar influences Monsanto's R&D department by helping ensure our talent pipeline is strong and filled with innovative people," Mizell said.
Monsanto has 5,400 employees worldwide who work in R&D. Last year, Monsanto's R&D hired 514 employees worldwide. In this fiscal year, Bandyopadhyay expects the R&D department to hire around 250 employees globally.

In The News 8.8.14
I, uh, took a hiatus due to insane travel but now I'm back with news for all. Hooray!
As an aside, every week I think that it will be a slow news week. I mean, it has to be. And then the world is like, SLOW? YEAH RIGHT. I'll show you slow and the next thing you know it's Friday and we are all weary from another week of tragedy. There is no making sense of it all, it simply is. Let's get to it:
1. Renisha McBride's Killer is Found Guilty
Renisha McBride was a 19 year old black woman who was shot in the face last November. Evidence shows that before her death she had been in a car accident and, dazed, wandered around a residential neighborhood in search of help. She wound up at the door of Theodore Wafer who shot the young woman. Wafer was charged with second degree murder and was found guilty of the charge on Thursday afternoon. The shooting came at a time when there happened to be a rash of violence against young African Americans perpetrated by caucasian men whose defense was that they were simply defending themselves and their homes. This was another punch to the gut to an already numb community. But unlike previous incidents, Renisha's killer was found guilty of her murder.
Dream Hampton, Detroit native and Ebony contributor writes about the death of Renisha McBride and the impact on the black community.
"Even though I lived in Detroit, where I was born, when Renisha was murdered, I didn't hear about her killing until days after the Dearborn Heights police department had deemed it unworthy of investigation. Somehow, as I began to feel rage about her murder, this not knowing about Renisha, became another erasure, unworthy of the very attentive on and offline communities to which I belong."
2. Iraq, Redux
President Obama has authorized the use of force against militants in northern Iraq. He addressed the nation on Thursday night repeating previous statements that the only involvement the US would have in Iraq would be for humanitarian efforts as ISIS/ISIL (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) has strengthened and has targeted religious minorities which is the definition of genocide. Assistance by the US comes at the request of the Iraqi government.
The President's statement
And an explainer on the current situation in Iraq
3. Congressman Steve King Cannot Handle DREAMers
Congressman Steve King is a Conservative from Iowa who has made immigration, specifically the deportation of DREAMers - unauthorized immigrants under the age of 31 who were brought to this country before the age of 16 and are currently in school, graduated from college or served in the military. President Obama has authorized DREAMers to receive deferred action when it comes to deportation and are allowed to stay in the country if they meet the aforementioned requirements. This week a DREAMer approached Steve King during an event in Iowa. The encounter was beyond awkward and disappointing. Here is the clip with a bonus Senator Rand Paul essentially running away because why stick around to talk to real people?
4. Honoring the Life of James Brady
James Brady, a White House Press Secretary who served under President Reagan died on Monday. Brady is known for his efforts against gun violence after being shot in the head during the attempted assassination of President Reagan by John Hinkley, Jr.
5. You Will Not Die from Ebola
I'm no statistician but you have a better chance of getting hit by a car while crossing the street than you do have catching and subsequently dying from Ebola. So stop freaking out. Seriously. If you don't trust me, Dr. Danielle Lee tells us why we shouldn't panic.

Like an oasis in an urban desert, a cheerful new flower shop has appeared in Fort Greene. Need a cheap pick-me-up? Grab a lush bouquet of Scabiosa or Lisianthus ($10), or consider tantalizing herbs, like chocolate mint, that come quaintly potted in recycled tin cans ($4--$6). If that doesn't woo you, the endearingly antiquated ways of owners Rado Bomba and Delgis Canahuate will: They hang their hats on locally crafted tree-branch hooks ($15--$35), bathe their blossoms in a British sink from the 1930s and use a typewriter to maintain their list of loyal customers.

All Hail the Hot 10!
From a food truck to a "pastry luncheonette," these are the Best New Restaurants in America
All-Purpose Ancho Spice RubBobby Flay uses this spice rub for salmon, or on chicken thighs that are braised and then layered in tacos.
Peanut and Scallion RelishA favorite, try this versatile crunchy peanut mixture with braised-chicken-thigh lettuce wraps.
Bobby's Crunch BurgerIt might sound radical, but adding water to the pan makes total sense: The steam will help cook the burger through, while preserving moisture at the same time.
Mushroom Paella with Kale and EggsThe best part of any paella is the crisp layer of rice that forms on the bottom of the pan. Make sure to scrape some out for each portion.
Orange Mint JulepThis julep riff from Bobby Flay tastes fresh and not too sweet.
Perfect Porterhouse SteakWith a steak this thick, you need to season liberally; when chef Bobby Flay demonstrated for us, the surface of the meat was virtually white from salt.
Pomegranate Molasses VinaigretteSalt will dissolve more easily before the oil is added, so make sure to season at the beginning.
Slow-Cooked Salmon, Chickpeas, and GreensBobby Flay often uses terra-cotta dishes called for this recipe. These lightweight vessels, ubiquitous in Spain, can go from oven to table, and come in a full range of sizes.
Spice-Crusted Carrots with Harissa YogurtThe sugar in the spice rub can burn if cooked too long, so watch these closely.

Pegasus Health
Garlic has a range of natural health-promoting properties due to its powerful actions, and Garlic Solution is an easy way of feeding your horse all the benefits of this powerful plant. Garlic is believed to contain more than twenty-five substances that give strong support to the immune system - including selenium, sulphur and vitamin C. Garlic was traditionally used for respiratory support, and more recently for cardiovascular support, and for its antioxidant properties.
Pegasus Health Garlic Solution contains garlic oil, which is the active component of the garlic bulb. The oil contains the sulphur compounds that give garlic its therapeutic properties, including alliin, disulfides and trisulfides. Pegasus Health Garlic Solution contains a higher concentration of oil than is found either in the fresh bulb or the dried chopped bulb (garlic granules).
Feed to:
Pegasus Health Garlic Solution is safe to feed with modern medication/synthetic drugs prescribed for equine respiratory illnesses and infections. Pegasus Health Garlic Solution is a superior form of garlic, which being in solution means it is absorbed into the horse's bloodstream and transported around the body much faster when compared to garlic granules or a powdered form of garlic. In simple terms, liquid garlic is much more efficient which means that your horse will get the maximum benefits in a shorter period of time.
|ml per day
Great product. So easy to use and much less mess than granules or powder. No problem with palatability, the horses love it!
Kate Dring, March 2013
Love this product and so do the horses.

"I don't think you have to be a Mensa member to figure out that it had an influence on decisions that were made. I was working with the developmental kids in NXT and enjoying that, and got called in for that job. It was a very unique night, to say the least. Ric Flair was coming off maybe the most traumatic time of his life. Reid Flair had recently died of a drug overdose. In hindsight, it might not have been the most timely booking, to get him in that environment. And then you can look at the other side and say maybe it's a good thing to get him out around friends. As it worked out, you'd probably lean more to the former than the latter. But here's the deal. I was conductor of a runaway train. I was supposed to keep it on the tracks and that didn't happen. So I don't have any issues taking responsibility. Did I envision that it would help facilitate my exit? No. But I could see the thinking behind it."

Pictures surfaced online of TNA stars Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin smoking pot at a party.
There has been little to no talk backstage of bringing Edge in for a special appearance at Wrestlemanie 30. The belief is that he has moved on from WWE and only made his recent appearance in September to do promotions for Haven, the television show that is currently working on.
Edge won't have to look through the classifieds any time soon, as SyFy has decided to renew the Haven television series for another season. The network likes the show so much that they have ordered 26 episodes next season, and Edge will be back to portray Dwight Hendrickson for several of those.
"And I really wish Edge were still here. It killed me when I was out injured and he ended up having that final match with Alberto Del Rio. He was there while I was with the Nexus and he was just such a joy to be around. He's a good human being and just knew so much. He was always helping. Its guys like that that I wish were around still."

Arizona Cardinals
Report: Cardinals working out LSU's Spencer Ware
The NFL Draft is a little more than a week away and the Arizona Cardinals continue bringing in prospects for workouts.
According to Scout.com, the Cardinals are taking a pre-draft look at LSU running back Spencer Ware.
Ware was part of a "running back by committee" situation in 2012 for the Tigers. The 5-foot-10, 228-pound Ware ran for 367 yards and a touchdown on 94 carries. He was bothered by a deep thigh bruise for a portion of the campaign.
As a sophomore in 2011, Ware ran for 707 yards and a team-leading eight touchdowns on 177 carries and was a Second-Team All-SEC selection.
According to the report, Ware has already worked out for Indianapolis, Philadelphia and New England.
Scout has Ware rated as the 18th-best running back in this year's draft class.

Purchased at iHerb
I take zinc mainly to boost my immunity. Doesn't seem to help with my acne. I also take green superfoods a few days a week. My immunity's pretty strong - haven't fallen sick for 1.5 yrs. This zinc supplement is my favorite among all the brands I've tried, and surprisingly, it's also the cheapest. Do wish they come in bigger bottles, as I need to keep replenishing. Will definitely continue buying..
Zinc picolinate is great - but this formulation is inferior

Posted by nicolehargreaves on Oct 04, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
Being a tablet rather than a capsule, this product results in slower absorption and the stearic acid reduces absorption quantity too. When we were using this for my daughter's mood problem, we noticed no change. After we switched to Thorne Research Zinc Picolinate there was an immediate improvement, even though she was taking a smaller dose! I wouldn't purchase again, unless I absolutely couldn't afford anything else. Given how much is obviously wasted, others are better value for money.
Good product that works at a great price

I have been using this for a couple of years now, usually taking one a day, and it has brought my plasma zinc levels up, so I know it works.

I have tried various brands of Zinc and haven't noticed much but that isn't the case with this one. It is highly absorb able and pretty easy on the stomach. Combine that with a low price here at Iherb and you have a winner!
