Shifting the Nature of the World:
Dr. Robert Fraley, Ph.D., the father of agricultural biotechnology,
spoke on "Sustainable Solutions for Doubling Crop Productivity by 2030"
at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
176th Annual Meeting in San Diego. AAAS is the most prestigious
science organization in the nation with members rooted in
national policy. After his talk, I approached Robert Fraley with the idea
that It's time for GMO and Organic Lovers to talk.
I approached him with the idea of lessening
tension through dialogue.
Robert Fraley, Executive Vice President
and Chief Technology Officer at the Monsanto Company.
the man who has influenced the lives of more than 12 million farmers
on more than 282 million acres in twenty-three countries worldwide.
said yes to the idea.
He planted a beet seed in a sugar cane
bagasse pot to grow out the intention
as did four other key players through the day.
I handed him a copy of the
Monsanto Company literature
that was placed on the seats.
I asked him to write me a note.
He wrote:
"Leslie,
Let's close the gap!'

THE POWER OF LIVE FOODS
If scientists were a bit less reductionist
by nature, and more omni-lateral in their thinking,
they might go far toward resolving some of the
emerging crisis of our times, including diabetes.
Dr. Cousens shares some brilliant ideas about
genes, one of the core constituents of individual

The Seed Dream I will plant in soil tomorrow:
An invitation to engage in a healthy
dialogue between those who support Genetic Engineering
in its applications to seeds and farming, and those
who support organic food production and its lifestyle.
I will seed beets and beet seeds that this will
grow into a new plant, a plant that
represents an intention,
a new AAAS program called (DoSEF),
The AAAS Program of Dialogue on Science, Ethics,

I have loved it all my life.
In the eleventh grade at Fairfax High School
in Los Angeles, before they did an upgrade
and built a building over the old pond,
Richard Lapidus and I would climb over the fense
and catch toads.
One night, around 11 PM,
we hopped the fense started to collect
toads on the football field.
They were all over the place.

Is acupuncture a science, I just asked Dr. Greg Spurber,
BMBS, DAOM. He is DIrector of Clinical Services at the
Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. If you are feeling
in need of some balancing, you may want to catch a cab
and come out to Mission Valley for a treatment while
in town. That made common sense to me this morning,
although I am not sure my decision was scientifically-based.
