GM and the public
As a conservation geneticist and an environmentalist, I can understand the concerns about GM but also the utility of it. More public visibility is important and necessary, but so is further public education so that people understand the real advantages and disadvantages to GM. Until the general public has a more in-depth understanding than "there's genes in my food" we won't be able to have a real conversation about the merits of GM and how to best control it.On FDA releases guidelines for developing genetically modified animals posted 1 year, 2 months ago 3 Responses
Get real
As someone who's tongue was tripping over the word "recyclables" as soon as I could teeter out to the bin clutching a bag in my tiny palm, recycling could easily be a deal maker or breaker in my relationships. I guess I've meet too many great guys who are thoughtful, but never learned to think about where their garbage goes. Writing a guy off because he doesn't know the difference between type 2 and type 5 plastic seems, well, like a plastic attitude. Until there are better education programs out there for the general public (aka those not raised by environmentalist dirt worshipers) you can't blame someone for their ignorance. It's great that it's hip to recycle - it's counter-productive to turn it into a put-down.
That being said, a man who eats real meat should go for real sugar packets. Pearson missed out on a real opportunity for merciless teasing there.On The latest hipster trend posted 3 years ago 9 Responses
