The company that is responsible for producing most of the GMOs is Monsanto. This is the same company that produced Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. They are a chemical company and now they are producing our food. To me that’s reason enough not to trust their “food.”
Monsanto has been able to patent their GMO seeds, so they own the seed. They also have an exclusive deal with Scotts Miracle-Gro who sells Round-Up.
Now there is a company that owns and sells a seed that is resistant to a spray that they profit off of also. Monsanto makes money off the consumer on both ends.
If you look closely at who holds federal positions, you will notice that many of them have held positions with Monsanto as well. (via Urban Organic Gardener) - click image to enlarge.
Wow I mean, I knew that the US government has a lot of big companies in their pocket, but this is ridiculous. No wonder Monsanto was allowed to get away with so much for so long.

"How will cities be built and iterated upon? We are just starting to see the shimmering refractions of the hive mind of human culture, and now we want to redesign the hives themselves to optimise the emergent complexity within. Perhaps the best we can do is set up the grand co-evolutionary dance, and listen carefully for the sociobiology of supra-human sentience."

Steve Jurvetson on the future of cities.
「該如何興建與複製城市？誰來決定？決策方式為何？我們逐漸看到人類文化聚集在城市後發出光亮，如今打算重新改造城市，希望更加彰顯其中複雜反應，或許我們只能努力跳起演化之舞，再仔細聆聽超越人類的力量有何反應。」

Collect Moments, Not Things
Sometimes I feel like when I lose things, I lose the moments they remind me of. Then I just remembered to write it down!

Vertical Farm Proposal Is Woven Into The Fabric Of The City
“Michelle Cheng, a graduate of the Ryerson University School of Interior Design, has designed a vertical farm for her thesis. She didn’t place it at the waterfront or in the theater district, she put it in the middle of a transitioning residential area with a large social housing component, full of people who need affordable fresh food.”
