Depending on whom you listen to, genetically modified (GM)foods are either an environmental catastrophe waiting to happen or the salvation of the world. Critics warn that tinkering with genes could introduce toxins and other harmful chemicals into our food supply. Proponents say biotechnology will create more healthful fruits and vegetables and reduce our dependence on pesticides and herbicides. While the potential benefits of genetic engineering can seem alluring, some experts think those benefits may not be worth the risk.
Hhmmm... are those apples perhaps the same alluring ones that tempted Adam?

My dear friend, I thank you, and again. I owe you nothing less than my warmest red - crimson, perhaps; For I am the music, and you are the inspiration
Note: Some people who have used certain products containing genetically modified ingredients have found alien fibers growing under their skin. Upon testing these fibers, scientists have found that they do not match ANY fiber found in nature. SCARY!
Also, the main goal of genetically modified food is to put control of the world's food into the hands of a single corporation: Monsanto...the makers of Agent Orange. They hope to stop everyone else from producing food...what better way to control the masses?
If you care about the future of humanity, don't buy in to GMOs.

Yes, the apples may be pretty, but are they good for mankind? This is a tough question and I can see the benefits and the drawbacks. Perhaps it is still too early to tell.

The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done, we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change. So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger, but in wisdom, understanding and love. Jennifer Edwards
When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
A Special Collection of photographs i found this month that still haunts my mind. Show them some love There are always some i can`t include due to space, i try to make the features under 50 deviations to give them better exposure
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
