TomDispatch - Tomgram: Following the Food Chain with Michael Pollan
[B12 Partners Solipsism] TomDispatch - Tomgram: Following the Food Chain with Michael Pollan: Look at an issue I know something about, genetic engineering. Why was its introduction into our food supply not a contested fight in America?

Bacon could become health food
[Slashfood] According to an article I just came across, American researchers have cloned pigs that can produce their own omega-3 fatty acids, which would make bacon and pork good for your heart. Omega-3 fatty acids are those compounds found in fish like tuna that reduce the incidence of heart disease.

Genetic Engineering
[B12 Partners Solipsism] As follow up on Michael Pollan's hunting experience excerpt, here is a sampling of an interview of Mr. Pollan, conducted about a year ago, including this astute observation about how the DLC and the Clinton Democrats sold out the country's health in the name of profits and/or lobbyist dollars:

Cloned Pigs Produce Healthy Pork?
[An Animal-Friendly Life: Vegan links, news, reviews, commentary, and podcasts] After reviewing numerous articles on genetically-engineered pigs (the articles mostly being clones themselves), I finally found an article that directly addressed the animal concerns raised by this topic at National Geographic. Apart from the specious supposition that we should be making an animal whose flesh is naturally high in saturated fat and cholesterol allegedly more heart-healthy by altering it to provide omega 3s galore, there are grave concerns about manipulating animals in this regard, and none of the articles dealt with it at all (being that the majority of them are AP plants), until I finally read the Nat'l Geo piece.

[The Tao of Politics] Yesterday I bemoaned the fact that scientists were trying to genetically engineer grapes. Today I read that scientists in Italy have decoded the genome of the pinot noir grape, and plan to use their research to produce superior wines.
