Скачать или смотреть Northstar Talks Politics: GMO's, Fear-Mongering, a Changing Climate, and Details Lost in the Weeds

Another short talk I hope you find stimulating and thought-provoking! This one, about GMO's, the fear and hysteria surrounding them, and how finer details (such as the differences between "good" and "bad" modifications to crops, based on how they affect our food systems and the environment...) getting lost in the weeds, so to speak (a pun! Since one of the problems is "Roundup Ready" crops and other GMO's designed to enable more aggressive herbicide use- which overuse of herbicides is the REAL problem, not the actual genetic engineering: which is harmless, as plant DNA in the diet doesn't normally interact with human health in any significant way...)

This is, also, a chance for me to get used to talking to an audience this way. Next up, hopefully... learning to do some actual graphics worth viewing with these talks! Sorry there's not much to look at! (yet)
