hmmm, Ive personally never been to Mass or Maine, but you must've been in the wrong places and not for too long..... you gotta go to the MId-west first if you wanna see really fat. You know what ill do ... ill carry my camera for a week and take pics of FAT americans just like that - on a regular basis of my normal life - without looking for them on purpose
Lets see what happens
and Kate, I have absolutelly no desire to make big arguments with you about the subject. I will say: genetics and any sort of science like that for that matter is absolutelly NOT my field of interest - so I only have basic knowledge about it - and have no problem admitting that . Sometimes it is interesting to talk about those things. At the same time though, I still cant take you as a very credible source of things - for lots of reasons - to name one: your number one source being the internet.... your desire for me to post internet information on the subject. In the academic world, (where you want to be, right?) that just doesnt look good.
On the other hand you have heard it a lot - you need to work on attitude (dont know how you are in person, but on the internet it is not 'interesting' to talk/debate/converse with you). I really get off this subject now. Lets be happy....
A general note on the subject is that it is NOT known what the Genetically modified foods really do the human - they tested rats and chickens and god knows what else... and? besides - this is such a recent thing that HOW can you know the exact impact it will have on humans/animals/plants/ the world say in.... 5, 10, 15, 50 years from now?!?! They are modifying things that take millions of years to occur naturally so that they happen in 2 years for example?
I guess all that i can say is that: no matter what the scientists say right now - I just dont find it pleasing that it takes 6 months for a chicken to grow in europe before it could be sold in the store while it takes 6 weeks for that process in America
I can only talk about Europe and North America - (and Europe excluding Britan, where they do lots of GM) and all i can say is that I CAN tell the difference between food quality - not how good it tastes - but I can tell how different my body feels when i come back to America after spending 3.5 months in Europe. And thats most that matters to me - i FEEL and live the difference
