GM Food controversy

Wed, 16 May 2012 19:42:49 -0700

Seeds of Contention: World Hunger and the Global Controversy over GM Crops (International Food Policy Research Institute)
List Price: ~~$19.95~~ Price: $9.75 You Save: $10.20(51%)
Product Description In recent years the media have reported, frequently with alarm, on the increasing use of genetically modified crops in agriculture. Some groups have expressed concern about consumer safety and the risks of large-scale ecosystem damage. Others have noted the resulting shift of power away from locally controlled farming operations toward large agribusiness and biotech companies, and the particular vulnerability of farmers in the developing world to this trend. In Seeds of Contention: World Hunger and the Global Controversy over GM Crops, development specialists Per Pinstrup-Andersen and Ebbe Schiøler focus attention on the less discussed issues of the potential benefits and costs of genetically modified crops for developing countries. Pinstrup-Andersen and Schiøler review the basic issues and discuss the potential that such crops have for addressing the great needs of poor and undernourished peoples throughout the world. They explain how increased agricultural productivity is not enough in addressing the problem of famine. People in developing countries need crops that are disease-resistant, can fend off insect predators, and can withstand severe environmental conditions in order to produce larger crop yields. Pinstrup-Andersen and Schiøler are sober in their assessment of these prospects, for they acknowledge that GM crops alone will not solve the world's food problem. They argue, however, that they may be one element in the solution and people in developing countries should have information about benefits and risks and the freedom to make their own decisions about whether or not to grow and consume GM crops.
Food Fray: Inside the Controversy over Genetically Modified Food
List Price: ~~$23.00~~ Price: $0.01 You Save: $22.99(100%)
Product Description More than ten years ago, the first genetically modified foods took their place on the shelves of American supermarkets. But while American consumers remained blissfully unconcerned with the new products that suddenly filled their kitchens, Europeans were much more wary of these “Frankenfoods.” When famine struck Africa in 2002, several nations refused shipments of genetically modified foods, fueling a controversy that put the issue on the world's political agenda for good. In Food Fray, esteemed molecular biologist Dr. Lisa H. Weasel brings readers into the center of this debate, capturing the real-life experiences of the scientists, farmers, policymakers and grassroots activists on the front lines. Here she combines solid scientific knowledge and a gripping narrative to tell the real story behind the headlines and the hype. Seminal and cutting-edge, Food Fray enlightens and informs and will allow readers to make up their own minds about one of the most important issues facing us today.

Labeling Genetically Modified Food: The Philosophical and Legal Debate
List Price: ~~$70.00~~ Price: $33.63 You Save: $36.37(52%)
Product Description Food products with genetically modified (GM) ingredients are common, yet many consumers are unaware of this. When polled, consumers say that they want to know whether their food contains GM ingredients, just as many want to know whether their food is natural or organic. Informing consumers is a major motivation for labeling. But labeling need not be mandatory. Consumers who want GM-free products will pay a premium to support voluntary labeling. Why do consumers want to know about GM ingredients? GM foods are tested to ensure safety and have been on the market for more than a decade. Still, many consumers, including some with food allergies, want to be cautious. Also, GM crops may affect neighboring plants through pollen drift. Despite tests for environmental impact, some consumers may worry that GM crops will adversely effect the environment. The study of risk and its management raises questions not settled by the life sciences alone. This book surveys various labeling policies and the cases for them. It is the first comprehensive, interdisciplinary treatment of the debate about labeling genetically modified food. The contributors include philosophers, bioethicists, food and agricultural scientists, attorneys/legal scholars, and economists.

Dieting 5 day meal plan

1-Day Diet - The Fastest "Diet" in the World!

List Price: $29.95

Product Description

If you have ever dreamed of a way to safely and quickly lose weight while still eating the foods you love, then this new book by best-selling weight loss author Jennifer Jolan could be exactly what you're looking for.

The book is called "The 1-Day Diet." And it's changing the diet and weight loss world as you know it. It is based on hard science and it works without constantly dieting for days, weeks, and months at a time... without planning any special meals... without counting calories... and without even needing to exercise.

The idea behind this diet was first discovered by a group of professional athletes (who wanted to lose body fat without starving or feeling tired) and then perfected for women by a world-class fitness expert. The result is a very "comfortable" diet that works fast.

In fact, it's not unusual to lose 2-5 pounds the first day, and up to 30 pounds the first month (and the more overweight you are, the faster it works) without the fat coming back.

The Best Part?

The diet only takes 1-3 days per week. The rest of the week you can eat all your favorite foods (even "bad" foods), as long as you follow a few simple guidelines.

Some of the secrets inside this fascinating new book include:

The secret science behind why it's almost impossible to fail on The 1-Day Diet. (Even if everything else you've tried hasn't worked.)
How to use the diet 1 day a week to KEEP fat you lose off forever. (No yo-yo effect and no worrying about the fat creeping back on.)
A simple 5-minute exercise that can double your weight loss speed on the 1-Day Diet. (Exercise is NOT required -- but you can lose weight TWICE as fast by doing this very simple exercise that takes only 5 minutes per day.)
How to use the 1-Day Diet Plan to cut your food bill almost in half.
How to prevent fat gain even while pigging out on holidays and weekends. (No more sheepishly sipping water and picking at the vegetable tray while everyone else is pigging out around you during holidays and parties.)
How the 1-Day Diet naturally eliminates food cravings and constantly thinking about food. (Your body automatically adjusts itself to notice the difference between true hunger and cravings... you don't even need to think about this, it happens naturally after doing The 1-Day Diet for a few weeks.)
A secret spice (that costs less than $1) that lowers blood sugar levels, makes you more insulin sensitive (that's a really, REALLY good thing), and helps you lose weight all at the same time. (Also keeps your digestive system working more smoothly and better, too.)
Why the more overweight you are, the more you lose on this diet. (In some cases, up to 5 pounds in 1 day... SAFELY... and without starving.)
A simple "game plan" to follow if you're in a hurry to lose weight. (If you want to lose weight fast, simply do this and in 2 weeks you can lose up to 10 or more pounds.)
The 1-hour "window of opportunity" to eat as bad as you want without gaining fat. (If you really want to indulge, eat your bad meals at this exact time and the carbs will turn into energy instead of being stored as fat.)
Why The 1-Day Diet is NECESSARY for people who are pre-diabetic... or who have full blown diabetes. (Millions of women are pre-diabetic and don't even know it. I would bet in a few years when this diet becomes more popular, doctors will start telling their diabetic patients to use it.)
Why no foods are strictly forbidden on The 1-Day Diet.
And much more...

The benefits are almost endless, and it's 100% simple and convenient -- with no recipes to memorize, no meal plans to figure out, and no calorie counting, forbidden foods, grinding hunger or suffering.

For people who find diet exchanges too hard, too limiting or too much work, this new method is a real breakthrough. Each of the book's 140 recipes shows the number of Carbohydrate Choices per serving, so that planning the rest of the meal is easy. From Old-Time Beef and Vegetable Stew to Creamy Vanilla-Caramel Cheesecake, the recipes are made with everyday ingredients, including sugar. No food groups or ingredients are left out, so there's no need for anyone to feel deprived or restricted to a special diet. Food exchanges are also included, making it easy for those who still count calories.
Betty Crocker's Diabetes Cookbook is also packed with expert medical and nutrition tips from Dr. Richard Bergenstal, an endocrinologist and diabetes doctor, and two registered nurses--invaluable for the newly diagnosed as well as for those who have been coping with diabetes for years. Throughout the book, real-life advice from people who have diabetes offers inspiration and great ideas on dealing with this chronic disease. When it comes to eating and living with diabetes, people need guidance and advice they can trust.

Life in the Soil: A Guide for Naturalists and Gardeners
List Price: ~~$25.00~~ Price: $14.55 You Save: $10.45(42%)
Product Description Leonardo da Vinci once mused that “we know more about the movement of celestial bodies than about the soil underfoot,” an observation that is as apt today as it was five hundred years ago. The biological world under our toes is often unexplored and unappreciated, yet it teems with life. In one square meter of earth, there lives trillions of bacteria, millions of nematodes, hundreds of thousands of mites, thousands of insects and worms, and hundreds of snails and slugs. But because of their location and size, many of these creatures are as unfamiliar and bizarre to us as anything found at the bottom of the ocean. Lavishly illustrated with nearly three hundred color illustrations and masterfully-rendered black and white drawings throughout, Life in the Soil invites naturalists and gardeners alike to dig in and discover the diverse community of creatures living in the dirt below us. Biologist and acclaimed natural history artist James B. Nardi begins with an introduction to soil ecosystems, revealing the unseen labors of underground organisms maintaining the rich fertility of the earth as they recycle nutrients between the living and mineral worlds. He then introduces readers to a dazzling array of creatures: wolf spiders with glowing red eyes, snails with 120 rows of teeth, and 10,000-year-old fungi, among others. Organized by taxon, Life in the Soil covers everything from slime molds and roundworms to woodlice and dung beetles, as well as vertebrates from salamanders to shrews. The book ultimately explores the crucial role of soil ecosystems in conserving the worlds above and below ground. A unique and illustrative introduction to the many unheralded creatures that inhabit our soils and shape our environment aboveground, Life in the Soil will inform and enrich the naturalist in all of us.
