  • My Japanese. Dreading my 1st Dan test where it'll all be in Japanese. :#
  • I like raw veggie sticks with hummus.
  • I let it air dry because blow dry damages it. But it's so thick, that it seems like it is still slightly damp when I have to wash it again. I can't workout and not wash my hair because I hate the feeling of dried sweat... so I'm washing it everyday sometimes twice a day. I have long wavy blonde hair. There days when I…
  • Lol...you guys are all the same...trying to get us to streak or skinny dip. It was enough that everyone knew that we were naked and there was nothing they could do about it. They scrapped the graduation dress code after us (my brother was in grade below me), so it did the job.
  • Me and my girls all went naked under our graduation gowns to our HS graduation in protest of the school dress code which specified no short dresses, no stilettos etc. So we all wore flip flops and our birthday suits...and got away with it. :p
  • Oh yeah, it's just an anecdote so not a science experiment or anything. I just felt concerned for her and it struck me it might be a pesticide related allergic reaction or something so threw the idea out there for her to consider. Sorry to hear you react to corn..it's one of my favorite foods...I think I have chips and…
  • Ok. But from what she said the pesticide used was the only difference between the corn she bought and ate other than the fact one was GMO and the other nonGMO. So if you're saying it couldn't be the Roundup pesticide (glyphosate), causing her GI distress; what did she react to then? Could she have reacted to it because…
  • So when you wrote the above and then said you didn't mean it as a fact, were you just thinking about future potential of GMOs to help World Hunger? [/quote] The GMO corn and soy that are currently being used in this country were developed to make these crops easier and cheaper to grow. That's why they are used in so many…
  • I was thinking about what you wrote last night, and I was wondering that maybe what you experienced could have been pesticide related? You said the organic farmer used different, natural pesticides from the GMO farmers. I know Roundup is a popular pesticide..and I saw recent article saying that the WHO and other scientists…
  • I loved the gmo answers web site! Thanks again for the link. You know I couldn't find anything on there showing how GMOs have increased food production globally as a positive impact on world hunger. I found one answer that hinted at it. It said that global food production had increased due to "technology and techniques" so…
  • Hi Kimny, I read up on Golden Rice last night. Learned that it is a humanitarian project to add Vit A to rice to help prevent blindness in malnourished children. But sadly, it's apparently been in development since 1992 and I couldn't find a release date...only comments like 'we're still years away from release' and 'we…
  • 606 pages! I didn't realize there was so much out there about GMOs...
  • Thanks guys! I will check tonight from home. I'd never really thought about GMOs but with them being in the news and obamas label law this thread caught my eye as I'm not sure right now which label I want to go for. I mean, if they're equal as food, then what about ethics...if GMOs mean helping World Hunger then I want to…
  • I'll just add cheese and crackers or tortilla chips and salsa to a lunch or dinner....if I make chips/crackers part of an actual meal then I don't get the urge to snack on them as much. I do nibble on rice cakes now and then as a snack.
  • It happens when I really push myself or change up my routine. Which is good to do once in awhile as it keeps me from getting bored.
  • Seeing as how I had an order of onion rings and a Diet Coke for lunch....your diet seems ultra healthy to me. Don't let the haters hate. :p
  • Agree, the better seeds are part of what the slide show said was modernizing of farming. So are all these better seeds GMO seeds? I look at the country productivity charts and they're almost identical...well except for some weirdos like Algeria. But the major countries all look the same. Is the increase due to GMOs? I know…
  • I was curious about this so found a neat history piece on World Hunger and food production. There is this slide show...but it doesn't say anything about GMOs being the reason world hunger is declining...only that better seeds and fertilizer have done it and then it shows charts of lots of countries with their food…
