Frankenfoods, and a 'high-centered' truck

Frankenfoods, and a 'high-centered' truck
Jeffrey Smith, who wrote 'Seeds of Deception' explains some of the hazards associated with 'Genetically Modified Organisms' (GMO) at the Mercola website. I have a distrust of genetically modified foods. My worries go beyond the possible dangers to the human population, but further to the entire ecosystem, and the potential losses we might face in the not-too-distant future when some characteristics of these foods have spread into nature.
Yet at the same time, I am a supporter of technology and progress. I feel that most of our progress in the technical fields have been with good effect. And I fear appearing a Luddite in my reaction to a new technology. But there is ample reason for me to be cautious in my fear of our rush to these genetically modified foods.
There are some who will say that we've always modified foods, and this is true. From the earliest times, even before agriculture, mankind was able to improve the carrying capacity of a given plot of land by advances in technique, selective breeding, and harvest methods. But there was never a time that one family of plant was crossed with another family, much less to have a gene from an animal spliced into a plant DNA sequence.
I'm all for plant breeding for optimum carrying-capacity and yield, but I am against gene-splicing as a method of food production. You can rest assured that no foods produced by Rivenrock Gardens will ever be genetically modified organisms.


On a different note, I came upon these two trucks along a California Highway, both with parking tickets on their antennae. but one had been pushed or driven a bit too far back and ended up high-centered in the ditch. It is a bit of a difficult position to get out of, and might have caused some damage to the drivetrain.
