test case.. you concentrate your efforts on one, then when it is successful, you pursue the rest using the precedence of the first..Originally posted by elindra:You know that is the thing I don't understand
There is so much focus on GMO soybeans but practically no news on GMO corn or GMO Canola which is way more rampant than soy
I wonder is it because of Green Peace or what -
It's now 920pm and I am sighing, sighing, sighing. Thinking of the bloody cash register at work is really making me stressed out. The kiasu Singaporean in me copied all cash register procedure notes while in training so I'm going to go cram on that and on appliances that I haven't really mastered. Stress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
that one, yah...
heard about Cargill trying to get Brazilians to go clear the Amazon to plant soy?Originally posted by Fatum:the scandal goes deeper .... they are now handing out GM corn as food aid ... especially to South America, where they traditionally grew corn .....
and right now the laws regarding labeling of GM food are next to non-existent outside of the EU ...... so .... your average bag of Doritos may well be made from GM corn ....

They require labels in Japan and Thailand too if the food is GMOOriginally posted by Fatum:the scandal goes deeper .... they are now handing out GM corn as food aid ... especially to South America, where they traditionally grew corn .....

We have no such requirements in Singapore though.
You can label your food as Non-GMO but you do not need to label it is GMO
Of course you cannot label your product as Non-GMo when it is GM -
poor girl..
just say to hell with it and wing it tomorrow

Well they are fighting a losing battle coz more farmers are opting to plant GMO Soy coz it's so much less workOriginally posted by the Bear:test case.. you concentrate your efforts on one, then when it is successful, you pursue the rest using the precedence of the first.. -
ah... just coz everyone is doing it doesn't make it right
anyway, there isn't such a thing as non-GM soy anymore right?Originally posted by elindra:Well they are fighting a losing battle coz more farmers are opting to plant GMO Soy coz it's so much less work -

the next hot thing is sugar cane .... for "green" bio-ethanol ......Originally posted by the Bear:that one, yah...

closer to home, there's the oil palm craze in Malaysia and Indo, to fuel the "green" bio-diesel drive mainly in Europe ....
boffins actually worked out that more carbon would be released onto the atmosphere if we loose the rain forest carbon sinks .....
of course, the indo's method of clearing land doesn't help either ... -
Thank you ah Bear. Anyway, I shall play the victim no more. I'm going to go cram.Originally posted by the Bear:poor girl..

sad thing..
because... there is so much available clearer alternatives out there.. yet, they keep going for this..
why?
lobbyists?Originally posted by Fatum:the next hot thing is sugar cane .... for "green" bio-ethanol ......

Well there still is.Originally posted by the Bear:ah... just coz everyone is doing it doesn't make it right

There are still lots of varieties with soybean genes only -

Thank you honeymouse.Originally posted by honeymouse:Relax Jetta!!!! Think about it as it comes and when you get back to work tomorrow.
How is the weather? Our days are hot but not scorching hot. It's still t-shirt and shorts weather here. Our nights are nice and cool so you can still wear a t and shorts, just the way I like it. Last winter I found out that I have cold air seeping in through the electrical points, grrr. I just bought some insulation to try and stop the draught. I also found out that the insulation around the front door needs to be changed. Piangz, talk about a money pit. -

Since everyone going for lunch I'll take a quick shower and pack more stuff. I managed to pack some stuff today

momentum I guess ....Originally posted by the Bear:sad thing..

why?
lobbyists?
bio-fuels doesn't require some radical new technology ... unlike, say LNG, hydrogen or electric cars ....
but I suspect it's because of the oil companies themselves .... they forced legislation to make 10% ethonol addictives mandatory for petrol ... it sounds good on paper, but ethonol is actually cheaper than oil right now ... so they are actually making more money by lowering their cost while appearing "green" ..... -
What kind? I love salmon sashimi sandwiches. Speaking of which, I'm suddenly thinking of the Ikea cafe's Salmon salad. You know the Ikea here is only 6 years old? And they don't sell fabric? So disappointing. People here are so in love with Ikea.Originally posted by the Bear:i'm skipping lunch coz i'm on a diet today

The weather is really nice today.... sunny day and max 21 deg C. I mentioned earlier that I actually got out of bed early to put the washing on the line as I think it's a waste for not doing any washing on such a beautiful day like that.

I feel so guilty about using the dryer instead of line drying my laundry, especially in sunny So Cal. To actually get out of bed early to hang the washing? *salute* We had a high of 25C today, really nice weather. Too bad I work at basement level.Originally posted by honeymouse:That's the thing about owning a house. There's always something to fix!!!

I like drying my washing on the line outside instead of in the house. We haven't had a dryer at home so during winter we just put on a cloth rack over the heating vent.Originally posted by jetta:I feel so guilty about using the dryer instead of line drying my laundry, especially in sunny So Cal.

I started the washing last night and sorted it out in the laundry basket before going to bed so it was all ready for me to put it on the line nicely/neatly this morning. I am a freak!!! -

Elindra,
look for Ross department store. You will find lots of cheapo clothes you otherwise buys as expensive stuffs in Singapore.
Try their nike, esprit & levis. Even samsonite luggage is cheaper there. Skipp their bras but go for the undies. Go for size s even if they estimate you are a size m.
