This video was shown as part of the closing ceremony
at the Student Sustainability Coaltion at UCSD April 30-May 2, 2010.
More than 200 attended. Saturday night, during mini mike
sessions, I announced a national program to enlist student support
for a new campaign called "Uncle Sam Marries Auntie GMO.
The students received my words.
I was inspired to be present with the current leaders of campuses
thorughout California who I seed today willl be the Sustainable
and Food Justice leaders of tomorrow. These are the We Generation,
the Millenium Generation.
I see them. I want to support them.
Through my eyes,
I am recording a History of Peace on Earth,
a History of the Earth and its human flowering.
Our Renewed Earth is the Enchanted Garden
and you and I , its gardeners.
UNCLE SAM MARRIES AUNTIE GMO

STUDENT COALITION CONVERGENCE
Washington is Pro-GMO.
Maybe this is the way to go to feed the world.
It's is time that GMO Lovers and Organic Lovers talk.
Here are a few briefings that support why
Washington is Pro-GMO.
WHAT DOES GENERATION WE
HAVE TO SAY ABOUT
PRO GMO OR AUNTIE GMO?
"Adventitious presence deserves discussion
to understand whether farmers engaged in conventional,
organic, and transgenic agriculture
can coexist as neighbors using known
and practical agronomic practices."
While European restaurants race to footnote menus, reassuring concerned gourmands that no genetically modified ingredients were used in the preparation of their food, starving populations around the world eagerly await the next harvest of scientifically improved crops. Mendel in the Kitchen provides a clear and balanced picture of this tangled, tricky (and very timely) topic.
Any farmer you talk to could tell you that we ve been playing with the genetic makeup of our food for millennia, carefully coaxing nature to do our bidding. The practice officially dates back to Gregor Mendel who was not a renowned scientist, but a 19th century Augustinian monk. Mendel spent many hours toiling in his garden, testing and cultivating more than 28,000 pea plants, selectively determining very specific characteristics of the peas that were produced, ultimately giving birth to the idea of heredity and the now very common practice of artificially modifying our food.
