Picking Cotton Carefully
Cotton
is known as �white gold� in some parts of the world. But the price in

Prof. Ignacio Chapela speech on the Berkeley-BP Deal
The
University of California at Berkeley administration and a small cabal
of scientists have struck a secret deal with BP to fund biofuels and
synthetic biology research to the tune of $500 million over the next
ten years. When this was leaked, it aroused widespread criticism from
faculty members and students, beginning with the bad science behind it,
which could seriously damage people and planet

GM Food Nightmare Unfolding in the Regulatory Sham
Regulators such as the European Food Safety Authority and UK's Food
Standards Agency have been ignoring the precautionary principle,
manipulating and corrupting science, sidestepping the law, and helping
to promote GMOs in the face of massive public opposition and damning
evidence piling up against the safety of GM food and feed.

GM Food Nightmare Unfolding and the Regulatory Sham
How
our regulators are ignoring the precautionary principle, manipulating

Cloned BSE-Free Cows, Not Safe Nor Proper Science
Dr.

ethical in terms of animal welfare
