		<description><![CDATA[A couple of days ago, I watched the documentary Food, Inc. Although the underlying theme is that the four large US corporations that dominate food would try to keep the American consumers ignorant of their activities, I saw this documentary much more as a review of the US society over the past 60-70 years.

So far, the focus had been on offering farmers alternatives to pesticides and herbicides. The proponents of GMOs praise the progress made and they claim that agriculture production benefits from this. Opponents warn about all sorts of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&amp;blog=7821215&amp;post=1709&amp;subd=futurefood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although it is tempting to think that food production systems are created by agribusiness, they depend greatly on the choices and the attitude of consumers and society.

To demonstrate this, here are some [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=hfgfoodfuturist.com&amp;blog=7821215&amp;post=1438&amp;subd=futurefood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
