The Gastrocast

Like something out of a science-fiction horror story, modern agricultural-science has been hard at work screwing with Mother Nature with impressive disreagard for the natural order.

From the two-faced calf born of supposedly pure genetic stock, to the Prion Free Cloning reported on only days after the FDA stated it was going to allow unlabeled genetically modified foods on store shelves after a brief comment period, to the new report of genetically modifying factory-farmed livestock into brain-dead vegetables so they are more docile, our food scene is seeming all a bit Brave New World.

Science has gone beyond the pale ¹ of late and has begun to waste time, energy and money on things which don’t in any possible way need to be explored. They are out to justify their jobs, the government grants which feed them and their own evil curiosity. And they are doing it with out a thought or eye to the future, and they are messing with our food–the very stuff the human race needs to survive and takes great pleasure in. Why don’t they just stop, and try to cure some of the diseases and problems we’re already faced with?

I am more or less moving over from Motime this weekend. I’d give a link to the podchef.motime.com blog, but it will be re-directing you back here soon enough, so that’s kinda pointless.

With this move I will have more expandability, more bandwidth and storage options and more familiarity–all my blogs ¹ will be on my own servers, all running Wordpress. The one thing I will miss is the Motime editor which is far superior to the Wordpress engine. But then again, I am looking for a software solution which will reside on my computer, so I don’t always have to blog or post while online.

This is all a bit early–in advance of the notice I will give in Gastrocast #93 later next week. But I want to give everything a chance to get up and running so I can make sure the switch-over of the feeds, etc will be as seemless as possible. As it is already out, I will also be announcing the my new venture: The Kitchen Garden Network. This will be the face of all future work on developing The Gastrocast.

Enjoy.
