Be Thankful
Glazed in beguiling dark humor, this taxidermy sculpture has a serious message that rings even more true today than it did when I originally made the piece ten years ago. As most of you likely have heard, the population of Earth just reached 8 billion. In the span of a mere decade since this sculpture was created, an additional billion humans now live on the planet. Below is the statement that accompanied this sculpture the first time it was exhibited in 2014 in a themed exhibition titled Fruitful and Multiplying – The Overpopulation Exhibit. So much for progress.

TITLE: Turducken à la Monsanto MATERIALS: Domestic duck, turkey, and rooster skins
“This piece is a commentary on the absurdity and entitlement of gourmet foods, the privilege of being able to allocate food for the purpose of art, and the disconcerting technology of interspecies grafting performed by the bioengineering industry. The strain on our planet's resources has become immense as the population of Earth crests 7 billion. With a tipping point looming, genetic engineers are creating hybrid species of livestock and crops designed to produce the highest yield possible while using the least amount of resources. The reality is many developing countries do not have the means to utilize this controversial technology and only an elite portion of the Earth's population will profit from these so-called advances. We live in a country rich in all resources. It enables us to use food towards a myriad of frivolous ends, including our entertainment. We create designer cuisine that is more about status than it is about sustenance, and we feed human quality food to our pets. While we enjoy our luxury foods, for much of the world just having food is a luxury.” ~

USDA Explores Corn Deregulation Path
Tumblr media
Greetings, fellow Americans! As a seasoned journalist with a penchant for agrarian life, I'm here to shed light on a topic that's sprouting interest across our great nation. The USDA, under its APHIS division, is reaching out for public opinion on a groundbreaking development: the deregulation of genetically engineered corn, known as MON95379. This cultivar, crafted by the experts at Bayer U.S.-Crop Science, promises to be a game-changer in our battle against pesky critters like the fall armyworm and corn earworm.  
A Leap Forward in Agricultural Innovation
MON95379 isn't just another corn variety. It represents a leap forward in our ongoing quest for sustainable farming practices. By engineering this corn to resist specific pests, we could significantly reduce our reliance on chemical pesticides, a move that's not only eco-friendly but also cost-effective for our hardworking farmers.   The Importance of Your Voice Now, here's where the plot thickens: the USDA is not making this decision in isolation. They're opening the barn doors for a 60-day public comment period starting March 4. Whether you're a farmer who's felt the sting of crop loss or a consumer who cares about the origins of your food, this is your chance to contribute to the conversation. Your insights and concerns will help shape the future of farming in our country.   Navigating the Regulatory Maze Understanding the regulatory process is akin to following a river through its twists and turns. MON95379 is currently being reviewed under the USDA's legacy regulations. This means the focus is on ensuring that the genetic engineering process does not introduce or increase plant pest risks. Your feedback will play a critical role in determining the environmental impact and safety of this genetically engineered corn.  
Why This Matters to You and Me
For those of us who appreciate the value of a day's hard work on the farm or the taste of fresh, sustainably grown produce, the implications of this decision are profound. It's about ensuring that our agricultural practices evolve in a way that benefits both our economy and our environment. Plus, let's not forget the potential for innovation to keep our farming community at the forefront of global agriculture.   A Call to Engage I invite you to join this vital conversation. Share your thoughts, experiences, and questions about genetically engineered crops. Whether you're in favor or have reservations, your voice deserves to be heard. Together, we can navigate the future of agriculture with wisdom and foresight. The petition will be available for a 60-day public comment period. Beginning Monday, March 4, members of the public will be able to submit comments through May 3, 2024 at the link below. View FR Notice View Petition   The Bigger Picture As we delve into this debate, let's remember that it's about more than just one type of corn. It's about how we, as a nation, approach the challenges and opportunities presented by biotechnology in agriculture. By participating in this dialogue, we're not just shaping policy; we're influencing the very landscape of American farming for generations to come.   In Closing As the sun sets on another day, let's ponder the possibilities that MON95379 and similar innovations could bring to our fields and our tables. The future of farming is in our hands, and together, we can cultivate a legacy of sustainability, productivity, and resilience. So, grab your hat, pull up a chair, and let's talk corn. After all, it's not just a crop; it's a cornerstone of American agriculture.   Sources: THX News & US Department of Agriculture. Read the full article
