Commission allows German GM potato to be grown in EU
A GENETICALLY modified (GM) potato developed by German company BASF, which was prevented from growing it experimentally in Co Meath in 2006, can now be grown in the EU following a decision this week in Brussels.

Monsanto introduces new varieties
Monsanto Vegetable Seeds, who have brought together seed companies such as Seminis, De Ruiter and Western Seed, has introduced new seed varieties, during meetings organised in Italy.

Svi valjda znaju koja je fora s Monsantom? Ono, imate genetski modificirano sjeme neke biljke koja je otporna na točno određeni herbicid (Roundup). Posadite tu biljku, špricate sa herbicidom i sve pocrkava osim te biljke. Ušteda? Right? Za to se isplati koristiti GMO jer se tako ostvaruje zarada. Digneš kredit i super ti je sa tim Monsantom i Roudupom… osim… eh… Onda se ispostavi da moraš “nadograditi” svoj herbicid … a to su novi troškovi a i zarada se smanjuje jer korov… heh…

UPDATE 1-More US weeds found resisting Monsanto Roundup
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb 26 (Reuters) – Scientists said on Friday they have confirmed expanding weed resistance to a key ingredient in Monsanto’s (MON.N)widely used Roundup herbicide, a troubling development for farmers and fresh fodder for Monsanto critics.

Supercool, predao si se GMO-jcima samo da bi otkrio da je cijela priča u stvari uzaludna i da korov i dalje raste, svake godine se pojavi neki novi koji je otporan i svo to sranje oko GMO-a je u stvari bilo potpunmo uzaludno osim… osim što su neke korporacije zaradile u tom procesu preogromnu lovu i boli ih piš što su pri tome sjebale sve oko sebe. Cool, skroz cool…

Ali nije Monsanto jedini, recimo DuPont je u toj igri isto…

Pompton Lakes residents begin suing DuPont over pollution
More than 350 residents of a Pompton Lakes neighborhood beset with groundwater pollution began suing DuPont and another company Thursday seeking financial damages on claims they have lost property values.

Znam da negdje u Buzinu ima neka farma piceka. Kako to znam? Pa smrdi ko kuga tj. smrdila je dok sam išao u Buzin, sad ne znam da li još uvijek smrdi. Uglavnom nije se moglo disati u danima kad  su (ne znam što) radili a toj farmi, cijeli Buzin se gušio u odvratnom smradu. E sad, USA najveći “kokošar” je Tyson… Da ne spominjemo da kod nas nitko to i ne mjeri niti prati.

Tyson Foods, Cargill on Trial for Polluting Illinois Watershed
Eleven Arkansas poultry companies including Tyson Foods and Cargill are on trial for disposing of millions of tons of chicken litter by giving it to local crop farmers as fertilizer, which allegedly has harmed the Illinois watershed shared by Oklahoma and Arkansas as well as Lake Tenkiller, reports AP (via New York Times).

Koliko jeftino (i loše) se proizvodi uz državne subvencije i jeftine kredite i prcanje uzgajivača koji su samo zaposlenici na farmama koje imaju na kredit i u stvari su u vlasništvu korporacije koja ih opskrbljuje sa picekima lijepo govori i carina koju su Kinezi nabili na uvoznu piletinu iz Amerike, od Tysona

China places sizeable duties on US poultry imports
February 8, 2010
China will impose anti-dumping duties of up to 105.4% on poultry imports from the US, the latest episode in a series of trade rifts between the two nations, state media reported. The duties will come into effect on February 13. The targeted importers include Pilgrim’s Pride Corp and Tyson Foods, which will pay 80.5% and 43.1% respectively in preliminary duties.

Pitam se samo kako bi Kinezi reagirali kad bi pametni ljudi nabili carinu od 105% na njihovu robu bez obzira da li ju potpisuje nekakav Apple ili HTC ili neki seronja ali za koju se zna da je proizvedena u Kini. U stvari naljepnica Apple (i drugi brandovi) služe samo Kinezima da zamaskiraju svoj izvoz. :-))

Svejedno, nikako mi ne ide u glavu da naši ljudi još uvijek misle da se to dešava “tamo negdje” u svijetu i da to s nama nema veze.
