Genetically Modified Food....

Genetically Modified Food…. Is it real?

Have you ever notice that approximately 70 per cent of the food in our supermarkets contain genetically modified ingredients.

If you don´t know what does that mean , genetically modified food, better known as GM food, are produced from organisms that have had changes in their DNA structure using the methods of genetic engineering.

How is this done? Well it is a sophisticated version of a copy-and- paste. Once the geneticist have the desired gene from the native organism´s genome, it can be cut out, transferred to the chosen plant, and pasted into its genome.

The number of countries growing genetically modified crops has increased in recent years, causing much debate over the safety of these products. Till now genetically modified animals hadn´t been approved for use as food.

Scientists argue that GM crops are more productive and have a larger yield. Also they say that crops inbuilt resistance to pests, weeds and disease, but this kind of food can affect both animals and humans.

As I said earlier maybe you haven´t realized jet that some food from supermarkets is genetically modified, the reason is that they don´t labeled them and it´s wrong and unfair for the consumers who should have the right to know what they are buying.

The most used application for genetic modifications are herbicide-resistance and pesticide- resistance, this could rise to super- weeds and super-pests that would need stronger chemicals to destroy them.

When Farmers star growing genetically modified crop, they stop growing the old varieties. These old varieties are important sources of diverse genes that give plants other desirable characteristics.

The leftovers from processing crops, including GM crops are used for animal feed. For example, approximately forty three percent of canola seeds is oil. What remains after oil extraction is a meal that becomes an ingredient in animal feed, and contains canola protein.

 In Mexico, people is trying to avoid that the genetically modified maize replace the dozens of native corn varieties which are the center of origin and diversity of this staple crop.

There are so many alternatives for GM food. A good example is ECO-FARMING it´s a project proposed by green peace. It protects the soil, the water and the climate. It is a vision of sustainability in which food is grown with health and safety by farmers from local communities, rather that food controlling corporations.

Another alternatives with little changes are becoming vegan, vegan food lovers are creative when it comes about food, or a simpler change is buying organic food, this kind of food is produced by organic farming, which is designed to promote ecological balance and conservation of biodiversity.

So next time you go to the supermarket you can decide whether you want to eat real food or eat a lab experiment.

Favorite places

So here i leave you two of my favorites places that i would like to travel to.
Enjoyed it.

There is this amazing place in Croatia, maybe you think that is a country with so much problems, but it has one of my favorites places, this place is called Plitvice Lakes, which are in the PLITVICE LAKES NATIONAL PARK. The tour is about 15 hours, and in winter the waterfalls look more beautiful.

Palaos or Palaus is an island near New Zeland, it is not very known, but it has one of the most wonderfull oceans in the world, if you look for it in google you will found a lot of photos of the ocean but non of the coutry.

Fears

All through my live i have had to learn to embrace my fears.
All my life i have been a shy, introvert person. That is something i wanted to change, so one thing i prupouse myself is that always that a difficult situation appears i never give up or till i have tried everything, like one time the school asked me to speak out loud with microfone for a ceremony ( they told me about it a week before), but i was very afraid of, i thought all the possibilities of what could happen, and i realised that it was unnecessary, all i had to do is to read in a mycrophone, not even memorized it, it was only a reading.
So i decided that i must demostrate myself that i was abble to do what ever i propouse.
And at the end i did it right, i read out loud.
And from that day on every little tough task, i only do my best.
So fears are all on your mind, you can demostrate youself that you are a warrior, that you can with everything.
(Sorry for:
My speelling
It's been too long since the last post)

bigger than you?

You must have dreams, desires,wishes, all of us have at least one, but sometimes we question our ability to make our dreams come true.
We are able to do watever we want if we want  it with all our soul. I know it sounds like a fairytale movie narrator, but that is true, i agree that the way is not always the easier ( there is someone that isn't agree with you or you think the trouble is bigger than you).
That is why you musn't keep out of your mind the end of the line, your desire. If you do this, you won't give up.
Also don't think that you can't dream  big, because if you read carefully all my recommendations, you can dream as bigger as you want.

Summer's Favorites

This is my list of what i found fun this summer.
Reading is one of my essentials not only for summer but this are some books i'm reading:
From the Dreamhouse King serie i'm reading the first book called "house of dark shadows" by Robert Liparulo, it is about a mysterious house , it is interesting.
Another book is from the saga of "FAIRYLAND"  and is called"The girl who circumnavigated fairyland in a ship of her own making" by Catherynne M. Valente . It is like alice in wonderland but with more story about the place where she goes.
Then we can't forget music it is essential in my life, i love music, you can check out my spotify profile:  
http://open.spotify.com/user/whatnow.719/playlist/2EFIHJMIhDBfo0m2pFNXH2
In the relaxing sense i love the jelly bean candles.
I recommend (if you don't know what to watch) : Orphan Black ( is just amazing believe me), Under the Dome ( The title sais all), Skins ( if you haven't seen it).
And that is all the things that have save me from a bored summer.

 

What if...? --- What Now?

Sometimes we do thing we wish it hadn't had happened , a wrong decision,  a wrong choice , etc. But on those cases the human being used to start thinking WHAT IF I.....? and in that empty space can be placed an infinite amount of thoughts an ideas.
I don't think that it is the right way to think, because the fact is that whatever you have done it is DONE and you can't change that.
Thinking in the endless possibilities that could have happened is not helpping you to change what you have done, doesn't matter if it is right or wrong.
To solve it you must think in the next step, what is at your dispossion so you can deal with it ,and continue whith your worryless life.
Be sure what you are going to do and made this step you must think further, in your next step.

Chances

This is one of the gifts that life gives us every day. From going outside to breath fresh air to meeting the love of your life or even bigger things. So this works like this: life give you the chance and you decide to take it or not, as simple as that or...not that simple. There are situations in which you have to sacrifice something, and there is when it turns more complicated. On those cases you have to think what is the best for you, what would open more doors in the future, or simply what for sure will make you happier.
Just choose the best choice for your own.
Don't think in what the others would think or how they are going to react.
The decision is yours. But remember not to think it wrong, just be sure not to cause a big damage without getting a big amount of happiness for you and the ones that surrounds you.
(Just be sure to always do the right thing)
