All vegetable on our dinner table are genetic modified food via a man-made hybrid breeding process. This method is slow and painstaking compared with DNA modified in the lab. They all are DNA modified products. Consumers may worry the Mosanto’s GM tomato DNA is taken from animal or insect and causing some adverse effects on our DNA pool or mutation. In reality, all life forms on the earth are sharing genetic codes, i.e. plant is sharing 30% DNA with us.

“Search your peelings Cuke” ROFL!

I spotted the Phil Ochs article in your news list – hadn’t seen his name for a while. I had an album of his records once – his version of “The Bells” is one of my faves:
