Genetic Modification as the Future of Food?
The speaker in the video below doesn't seem to think so. The video talks about the process of genetically modifying a seed and criticizes the increased planting of these seeds around the world. Viewers should note that the speaker is an Englishman. He says 'this country' a few times in the video, and is referring to England. Also, I believe the video was shot a few years ago. Regardless, the content is interesting and remains relevant today.

One Love: Human Interconnectedness
Went to see an amazing live music performance last night by Balkan Beat Box (BBB).
WOW. Beautiful music.
BBB in many ways embodies the idea of 'local to global'. Their music fuses sounds from so many different places, cultures and times. They perform all over the world. And their music deals with issues and themes faced in many places in the world - police brutality, constant war and how it can be ended, political violence and lack of freedom, interconnectedness of humans everywhere.
I am pasting some of their music below. Please check them out! Enjoy!
