In My Snarky Way I Do Try To Educate
Below is a screen grab of a thread on facebook on which I found myself tagged by my sister. I don’t know the OP or any of the commenters except the other person named Shepherd. I kind of feel bad that I invaded it and got a wee bit dogmatic but I really try to […]

GMO Use Will Advance Regardless Of Folks Like Mercola
Doc Mercola is at it again – spreading fear and misinformation. Claiming a scientific position when in fact, his extremist posts about GMOs are quite the opposite. I subscribe to his emails – for entertainment mostly. Though I delete the vast majority of the emails, every now and then I open one up, as I […]

Refreshing Voice Speaks In Favor of GMOs
Though I haven’t posted in awhile, I am still passionate about spreading the real truth about GMOs and letting my story be known. My blog tells the story – post by post – about how a person can go from believing that GMOs are dangerous and should be banned to realizing that there is much […]

He died from a malignant brain tumor that looked like an octopus just inside his left ear, a tumor that declared war on his body. Specifically, his tumor was a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) which is a very late […]

The Power Of A Simple Table
I ran across this table today on facebook and the instructions that accompanied it were to share, share and share alike so I’m doing my part. Thank you to Ryan Megan for posting it. First of all, GMOs, or better put – transgenic technology, is one of several techniques known as genetic engineering. Yet […]

The Other (Big) Reason I Changed My Mind About GMOs
It has been well documented here on this blog how I went from being an anti-GMO activist, completely opposed to transgenic technology as it relates to crops and food, to supporting it and calling out the very activists whom I once revered. In the Sleuth4Health chronicles that describe events leading up to and just […]

Oregon Right to Know: I Don’t Want The Right to Know BS
Ray Seidler, retired EPA scientist, the newest pro-labeling darling appearing in Oregon ballot measure 92 ads. I really don’t understand this guy. PhD in microbiology? Maybe apply what you learned a little? Maybe lose the emotion-laden activist rhetoric and talk about real science? Maybe ask commercial farmers how they really feel about Monsanto and other […]

Environmentalists Concerned About Climate Change – Please Take Note!
To anyone concerned about climate change, I am very concerned about climate change too – AND I support biotechnology – GMOs. Please look at this graphic. This is powerful. Julee K/Sleuth4Health
