Then cannot eat noodles already? Siao bo


Problem with noodles & bread is that they probably use genetically modified flour because it is cheaper. If you buy those prepackaged noodles it probably contains plenty of unhealthy things like salt, msg, ...

In our current times, and situation, it is very unlikely we will have access to 100% naturally grown foodstuff, whether grain or fruit. Almost everything we buy today have been genetically/scientifically modified. Right down to the rice grains, bananas we eat, they are not of the form they were hundreds of years ago when our forefathers ate them. Even the domestic pigs and chickens raised at the farms (free range or not) are not the same animals that were originally domesticated from their wild relatives. They have been selectively bred. Even "wild" ginseng is not really wild, there are none.

However, I believe the majority of the foods we buy today are safer, more hygienic to consume than before because safety and health standards have been improved over the years. Just sometimes, some industrial accident occurs, or some inspector/official is corrupt and "contaminated" food is released into the market. That's just bad luck.

Cheers!

The fight against genetically modified crops is still going on. There is a difference with todays GM foods. The GM food I am concern with are the GM foods being developed in the labs by large companies like Monsantos. Big companies are mercenary & driven by the profit motive. They are not concerned with things like safety.

Even if foods are hygenic there can be health issues with long term exposure. As a consumer I'm only concerned with safety & the fact that there are opponents to GM foods shows that it may not be so safe.

There are already plenty of health problems in the US. Many of the problems can be traced to the unhealty processed foods. They are also eating plenty of GM foods. Is there a connection:confused: Nobody knows & I don't want to be a guinea pig.

With the advancement of science particularly in the area of preventive medical science, we are able to live longer and healthier. The damage done by GM food has been negated in part by the advancement of modern science.

I know exactly what you mean. And Monsanto is a company that stands out in this arena. I once saw a Halloween poster depicting Monsanto products as the evil against society. These days, we can only be watchful to a certain extent on what we put into our mouths. We remain conscious on two fronts - one that is ecologically conscious, one that is humanely aware. But many things are hidden from view. A free press and morally responsible press is essential to put out information to the public. The rest is up to the individual.

Cheers!

Life expectencies have increased because of advancements in science and information on health, hygiene, etc. The good has benefitted society more than the harm has caused us. We can't help it that money is the driving force, but it is what makes the world go round, well, it makes society function. Its something we have to live with.

Poultry and livestock farmers use hormones and steroids for faster growth of chicken, cattle etc. These chemicals end up in the food we consume. Do they affect our bodies? Just look around. Before the fast food culture spread, girls reached puberty in their early teens. Now even 9 year old girls are menstruating. i attribute it to the hormones and steroids that comes embedded with fast food.

Even vegetables are not spared. Chemical fertilizers are generously applied to accelerate their growth. When they end up in our body, all the chemicals will definitely play tic tac toe with our organs.

So basically GM foods etc is a non issue lah. Another point is the world population is growing by leaps and bounds. If GM foods etc are not used to enhance crop production etc, how to feed the people? So its either better 'quality' food or less food and people starve.

PAP is a miserly & a selfish lot. They never do anything without a reason. The fact that they are now encouraging cancer screenings should tell you that something bad is going on here.
I suspect that the data will show that young Sporeans are suffering from a high rate of cancers.

The fact that older Sporeans are living longer is irrelevant because it just shows that the older generation are healthier than todays young. Not really surprising when you consider that in the good old days the diet was healthier, foods were natural & not tainted by chemicals & gm foods. People like my grandfather would get fresh eggs & chicken from the neighbourhood kampong.

In the old days eating organic foods was the norm. Unlike today where you have to pay extra for organic.

If you look around you will notice that todays young are suffering from all sorts of health issues: allergies, hair loss, over weight, cancers,... It's common to hear of NS men dropping dead. I won't be surprised when future stats data shows that post baby boomers are having a shorter life span.

There is actually enough food to go around. The real problem is with the unequal distribution of food. The producers prefer to sell food to markets where they can get higher prices e.g. Spore, US,...

This is what they said in the 80s and 90s,,but i dont think its the case now. as grains etc can b used for biofuels etc..anyway its good that food prices are high,,prevents the poor and the trailer park trash from breeding,,,we do need to get rid of the surplus population anyway.

Have read about cases where male children have developed breast from eating chicken with too much hormones.
