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)

Mistakes

There isn't a person that hasn't made a mistake.All the people say that we are humans and we can make mistakes, but... What for? I always say that everything happens for one reason.
Everyone tell us that mistakes is the way life taught us. There are exam mistakes, or a wrong thought. You have always to be sure that from the mistakes you make you learn something and also be sure that you will not make it again. So don't be disappointed when you make a mistake just think what you have learnt from it.
-Good wishes

Family

i didn't write yesterday because a went for lunch and dinner with my family. I discovered how precious and important is, at least, for me. I had so much fun with them, i talked with my grandpa about loads of things.I love my grandparents infinitely. My grandma used to take care of my sister and i when we were kids so we have a close relation.
For me the family is the first that i have to think of, because they are the only people that will and love you inconditionaly. There are not a such thing as the love and warm that a family gives. Even when you do bad things you know that they will forgive you.
Don't forget this because none compares with the family. Don't dispreciate them. They love you and they will do even the imposible for you.

Pointless?

This weekend proved me that everything is possible, that neither me can tell me that i can't. So i'm gonna post some of my favorites quotes.

-Trains, like time and tide, stop for no one.
Jules Verne

-When the mind once allows a doubt to gain entrance, the value of deeds performed grow less, their character changes, we forget the past and dread the future.
Jules Verne

- Every reader knows about the feeling that characters in books seem more real than real people.
Cornelia Funke

-Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.
Leah LaBelle

-Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.
Swami Sivananda

-Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Buddha

-Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.
Mary Kay Ash

- Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.
Jack Canfield

Chris Gardner:
You got a dream. You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want something, go get it. Period.

- Charlie:
So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.

- Charlie:
This one moment when you know you're not a sad story. You are alive, and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you're listening to that song and that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment I swear, we are infinite.

So there you have, my favorites quotes, i don't want you to feel pointless while living, you are here for one reason, and you have to discover it through your life, do what you love, or seek for something you love, live, and live life your own way.

Don't give up

Now a day we make a drama almost for everything but there are moments in which we really need the a supportive person, days that are tougher than others in which we need to give all we can or even more.
So, on does moments sometimes we think that we can't deal with it, but it doesn' t mean that, because it is tougher it is impossible.
All we need to think is that we can do it, "we can do this, and more", "it is only a step for proving myself that i'm capable."
Life, god, or whatever you want to call it, gave us  "problems"  in a personalized way, so we can be better in what we need to be better.

living or surviving?

i want to live not to survive.We live when we enjoy what we are doing, when we don't count the time to finish the day because we want to do more.

But there is also the other side of life. When we are just doing the things just for doing it, when when don't like anything we do, when we just want the day to finish not because we are tired but because we are bored or not happy for what we are doing.

If you are in the second one i discovered that if you find a hobbie, something you can't wait to do when you get home, or an outdoors hobbie, you will be better and you will do something that you really want to do during your daily routine.

The only thing you have to do is to do something different for your routine or stop thinking in all the things you are going to do and enjoy what you are doing in the present.

(sorry for upload it late)

Being you

You don't need to think that what you see is all what is available.
There is so much more further than what you listen on the radio, see in a magazine, or watch on the TV.
You can reinvent, or rediscover yourself every single day.
You can try something different every day, you can try a different food, try to find different kinds of music, different artists, different movies, whatever works for you.
You don't imagine what you can find out if you try different things in your daily life.
Don't keep the idea that only what you see or what your friends do is the only thing right, you can create your own style, don't try to define you as an specific "type" of person.

Worrying

who i am?
That is a common question, but there are some others more questions that worry me like what i will be? or what i should be?
I'm that kind of person that thinks everything about anything. That is something that anybody should not do. We should enjoy life instead of worrying  about what life is going to put on your way.Live is always going to give us an unpredictable way to live.
We waste our time thinking unnecessary things.
We have to do what we have to do, if you think something is necessary to be done, just do it.

So i summarize it in one phrase:
" If you wanna make cool sh*t, you gotta make cool sh*t"
-Troye Sivan

Friends

What would we be without friends?
We can talk about anything with them, enjoy unique moments, trust them, be ourselves. But how to know if we have real friends?
For me there are some types of people:
YOUR BEST FRIEND(S)
that person who you can talk with of whatever is on your mind, and your talks can go depper.
FRIENDS
You can talk and have fun or never be bored when you are next to them, but you don't really have a deeper relationship.
MATES
Are that type of person who you can say hello, or have a short talk ,but you don't really cross that line.
SIGHT KNOWN
People that you know about their existence but you don't talk or even say hi.
ESTRANGERS
You don't know them, they don't know you. But if you try to talk to the right one, you may find a friend.

So this is the way i see the world through my eyes. Sometimes i get to the point that i don't know who to call friend, but i have the thought that if i try to know better the people that surround me i will find good friends or even best friends.

Life is all about that.

what if the day you wanted to be perfect wasn't like that??
There are some times when the unexpected things become expected ones.
Life is all about that.
Life would be boring if it wasn't full of unknown things or moments.The happy moments or the sad ones wouldn't be happy or sad. You woldn't be able to feel what you feel.
So i was thinking, everything was made for us, or we make our own way?
The perfect moment, for the perfect feelings of the perfect person.
We choose our way through decision, each different decision is a different way, and your decision is based on your thoughts in order to choose the right one for you, but what about if you had a different personality? you would probably choose a different way.
So in conclusion you are your life, life is your persinalized highway, you made it based on decision, don't expect life to solve your problems, make an effort if you want to get something, or if you want your dreams come true.
You are you and your decisions are yours.

I'm just a young girl trying to understand why is society the way it is. I don't want to be afraid of doing crazy things sometimes just for fun, that if I want to spin without sense I just spin without sense, and do it without worrying about the way the others see me (maybe it is a extreme example, but for me is okay).

I like to be different but that took me a long time. I was a weird girl between all my classmates, I didn't have a lot of friends or simply I didn't  like them. I passed through a lot of things. I used to think that I wasn't right, so I decided to change.

I Think that change made me, be me, but the reason of  why I did the change wasn't the best, because I did it for them and not for me. So if you want to change the way you look or the way you think, just be sure that you do it for you and not for people that actually doesn't mind if you are you or you try to be someone else.

Now, I'm so lucky to have my friends, they are not like me, and I'm not like them but we love each other, and we do understand the way we are.

If you are reading this, I just want to tell that I'm starting to write and I want to tell that if you think this is so personal, I write this to open myself to writing, there are going to be more blogs trying to help to solve your problems or giving advises about anything. If you want me to talk about a specific thing, just let me know. 😏
