Genetically Altered Food… Think About It

Is Genetically Altered Food Positive Or Negative?

by: George Hutton


Farming has been around for a long time, ten thousand years according to many experts. And ever since the first humans learned how to plant and harvest crops, they’ve steadily been improvements over the years. These improvements helped them to get more food out the same piece of land. And as the world’s population has grown, farming has helped out by continuously increasing the capacity of a finite piece of land. The latest technological developments in farming include genetic engineering, which promises to not only increase the amount of food grown, but to increase it’s nutritional value as well. But is this a good thing? In this article I’ll go over the advantages and disadvantages, so that you can decide for yourself.


First of all, farmers have been genetically engineering crops for centuries. Whenever they mix seeds together to produce different plants, that is genetic engineering. One of the benefits of genetically engineered crops is to increase the nutrition of today’s food. It’s no secret that by eating a diet rich in carbohydrates can lead to diabetes, heart disease, and other ailments.


However, with genetic engineering, it may be possible to alter the carbohydrate/protein ratio, giving allowing for grain based foods that don’t contain an overabundance of carbohydrates. Modern plant oils are another problem. Most modern plant oils don’t contain the proper balance of fatty acids, which can lead to high cholesterol. However, with genetically altered foods, these modern plant oils can contain a much better blend of fatty acids, which can lead to better cardiovascular health.


The genetic engineering of today is much different than it was in the past. In the past, it took several years to make small changes. One small change per year, and then it took farmers several years after that to include the altered food in their crops, just to make sure there wasn’t any hidden dangers. However, today, genetic changes are made much quicker, and some feel that this might make it much harder to see any negative effects.


The benefits of genetically altering plants historically was a much slower process. The changes were easier to see, as well as their effects. By dramatically changing a plants genetic makeup with radiation, these changes might be hidden for some time, and might cause diseases that we don’t even know about yet.


To be sure, there are, and there have been, plenty of benefits to growing genetically altered food. However, scientists must be careful not to make changes too quickly, or else unfortunate, and unintended consequences may result.

The Power of Shifting Perspectives

How To Use The Power Of Perception For Smooth Social Sailing

by: George Hutton


If you’ve ever been in an argument, and you were absolutely certain of your position, it can be embarrassing to later find out you were wrong. When we are so sure that we are right, and the other person is wrong, we can sometimes say things that we will later regret.


Here’s a good trick to avoid falling into that trap. It starts from an understand of the difference between an associated viewpoint and a dissociated viewpoint. Ninety nine percent of the time, when we are awake, and conscious, we are in an associated frame. Meaning that we see things from our own eyes, and feel things from our own experience.


For most of us, the only time we ever see things from a dissociated point of view is in our memories. When we think back to memories, usually memories that happened long ago, we sometimes see them as if we were a third party watching events take place, including watching ourselves.


Sometimes when people have dreams they also see things in a dissociated way, as they are watching themselves as if they were a third party observer. Most people aren’t even aware of the difference, but it can be an incredibly useful skill to switch back and forth, in real time.


The way to do this is first do it while you are along. This may sound similar to some secret Russian remote viewing training, but it works just the same. As you are sitting there in your chair, instead of seeing the things in front of you, imagine that you are off to the side, watching yourself sitting in the chair. Describe out loud what you see. Try on different perspectives from various places in the room and see how that feels.


When you’re ready, try this out in public. Sit in a coffee shop and imagine seeing yourself, from a dissociated, third person view, from many different perspectives. Next step is to imagine that you are other people, watching you. Use your instincts to help you imagine seeing you as they see you.


After you’ve easily mastered that, it’s time for the next level. Watch and listen to yourself from various viewpoints while you are in a conversation with somebody. Now you can flip between three different perspectives. From your own viewpoint, from your conversation partner’s viewpoint, and from an objective, third person viewpoint.


Once you get pretty good at this, you’ll find it’s much easier to see things from the perspectives of others, and this will drastically improve your ability to persuade and influence others, as well as avoiding those nasty arguments.
