Blog what you study
In about 5 mins i am supposed to be leaving and on my way to Quebec. But i kind of feel my blog has been neglected. Was doing a Sociology (yes i do things besides Psych) essay and came across something interesting describing the risk society and genetically modified (GM) foods.
The Risk Of Nations
In the US products are safe until proven risky
In France products are risky until proven safe
In the UK, products are risky even when proven safe
In India products are safe even when proven risky
In Switzerland products are risky especially after they have been proven safe
In Kenya products are safe especially after they have been proven risky
In Canada products are neither safe nor risky
In Brazil products are both safe and risky
In Ethoiopia products are risky even if they have not been developed
Its from an annoynomous contributor on www.agbioworld.org but i got it from a 2003 book called Genes , trade and regulation by Bernauer. Interesting but not sure if its historically or politically correct. haha. But since when has that stopped humour.
