The Mad Hatter world of industrial agriculture has announced another victory: the University of Guelph in Canada has genetically engineered pigs whose manure contains 30-70% less phosphorus than that of regular pigs.
The Center for Food Safety asks us to speak out against USDA approval of genetically engineered (GE/GMO) alfalfa, given its impact on the environment and public health.
Everyone on the planet needs to watch The World According to Monsanto.
