Jury Says: Bayer GM Rice Contaminated Rice Crops in Neighboring Louisiana Fields
nedhamson1
by nedhamson1  12-13-2009   
 Bayer in cooperation with LSU researchers receiving funding from Bayer, found guilty of damaging neighboring fields. Bayer was researching a crop modified to resist a Bayer pesticide similar to how Monsanto has used GM methods to make Round Up ready corn. Illustrates the probvlem is not just GM - the problem is the nexus of cross interests between Bayer, or Monsanto with the FDA and with university "scientists" whose labs depend upon industry funding support, as well as FDA support, and US Congress members who write in supports for these methods and companies into a variety of laws and regulations, as well as international aid regulations.

A cloud still hangs over Bhopal
Lexica

 More: What’s missing in the whole sad story is any sense of a human connection between the faceless people who run the corporation and the victims. In 1995, a Bhopali woman named Sajida Bano sent a handwritten letter to Union Carbide. The factory had killed her husband in 1981 in an accident, and then, on the night of the disaster, her 4-year-old son. “You put your hand on your heart and think,” she wrote, “if you are a human being: if this happened to you, how would your wife and children feel?” She never received a response. The survivors of Bhopal want only to be treated as human beings — not victims, not greedy money-grabbers, just human beings who’ve gone through hell and are entitled to a measure of dignity. That includes concrete things like cleaning up the mess and providing health care for the sick, and also something more abstract but equally important — an acknowledgment that a wrong was done to them, and an apology, which Bhopalis have yet to receive.

A Cloud Still Hangs Over

 The families of the dead got an average of $2,200; the wounded got $550; a Dow spokeswoman explained, that amount “is plenty good for an Indian.” As Representative Frank Pallone of New Jersey observed in 2006, “In Bhopal, some of the world’s poorest people are being mistreated by one of the world’s richest corporations. The Indian government, fearful of scaring away foreign investors, has not pushed the issue with American authorities. Dow has used a kind of blackmail with the Indians; a 2006 letter from Andrew Liveris, the chief executive, to India’s ambassador to the United States asked for guarantees that Dow would not be held liable for the cleanup, and thanked him for his “efforts to ensure that we have the appropriate investment climate.”

 Nor does much of the rest of Mr. Siddiqui’s résumé. The White House has touted his role in the first phase of developing national organic standards. But those standards, as they first emerged in draft form in the Clinton years, were notoriously loose about allowing genetically engineered crops and the use of sewage-sludge fertilizers to be labeled as “organic.”

Beekeepers Tell Pesticide Firm to Buzz Off
disenchantedcitizen
by disenchantedcitizen  10-4-2009    1
 This is absurd! As Graham White, a beekeeper in the Scottish Borders and an environmental author states: "Putting Syngenta in charge of UK research into the causes of honeybee deaths is arguably the equivalent of putting the tobacco companies in charge of research into lung cancer." It’s a foregone conclusion that Syngenta will find that they are not responsible for the decline in bee population. This is a clear case of government in the back pocket of another corporation. And once again, the public is powerless to have any effect on stopping this travesty and government just rubs our noses in the fact.

Does Washing Really Reduce Pesticides?

 I'm warming to this topic. Scald fruit with boiling water, and you'll often literally see the chemicals as the heat changes the compounds and makes them visible. But ya need fruit for a good diet, don't ya? And I hear some of the "organic" stuff isn't "really" organic! Dilemmas more important than Mac or PC? Sadly, they're out there. :(

Roundup weedkiller kills human cells
Lexica
by Lexica  7-8-2009   
 More: One specific inert ingredient, polyethoxylated tallowamine, or POEA, was more deadly to human embryonic, placental and umbilical cord cells than the herbicide itself – a finding the researchers call “astonishing.”…Roundup might cause pregnancy problems by interfering with hormone production, possibly leading to abnormal fetal development, low birth weights or miscarriages…an Argentine scientist and local activists reported a high incidence of birth defects and cancers in people living near crop-spraying areas. Scientists there also linked genetic malformations in amphibians to glysophate. In addition, last year in Sweden, a scientific team found that exposure is a risk factor for people developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma… Federal law classifies all pesticide ingredients that don’t harm pests as “inert”…Inert compounds, therefore, aren’t necessarily biologically or toxicologically harmless – they simply don’t kill insects or weeds. Monsanto is evil.
