Humans change the world just by living.   Clean food and water are paramount.   Some chemicals harm life.    I am a DES (diethyl stilbestrol) baby who would have died if it hadn't worked  to prevent a miscarriage.    Should I complain, about side effects for DES daughters, and grandchildren?    No, I am grateful for a life.

I lived at Fort Shafter as a young teen.  Periodically the gentle beep beep and red lit clouds of mosquito spray enveloped our neighborhood with an other worldly cloud.  My bedroom was on the ground floor.   DDT was the thing...and seemed better than mosquitos and illness.   Years later, I have  developed a rare lung irritation....everything else works.   I wonder.

I want babies safe, rare birds safe, and the 7.4 billion people fed.
The anti GMO folks collapse 3 ideas into one inaccurate thought.
1. is modifying organisms. 2. is pesticides  3. is corporate politics destroying small farmers...especially in India.

Tough choices for tough times.   Be selective.
