TNT’s Radio Broadcast on Measure P

September 13, 2014

Miss the program?
You can listen to the
recording here!

This past week I had the opportunity to take part in a discussion about GMOs on Humboldt State University’s radio station KSHU. On the ballot in November is Measure P, which would make the cultivation of any genetically modified crops in the county illegal. KSHU’s Thursday Night Talk program presented the opposition to Measure P on Thursday evening.

Also on the show were scientists Rollin Richmond and Mark Wilson.

I’m very happy that I got to participate in the show and speak out in favor of GMOs, especially next to a couple of scientists who offered new and interesting insight into the issue. I certainly hope, for the sake of the farmers in Humboldt County, that some voters were swayed by the discussion.

You can listen to a recording of the show here. If you do, I would love to hear your feedback in the comments!

Thank you to the station and TNT host Kevin Hoover for having me on and for giving us the platform for this topic.

What song would you listen to on repeat for hours and hours? Mine is "Fly Over States" by Jason Aldean or "I Lived" by OneRepublic. I know, cheesy. But I love those songs.

Turns out this was a little anti-climatic, but that's a good thing. Interesting read though on how USDA is working with e-commerce vendors to assure online seed sales are legitimate.

I don't think we really appreciate how much our modern life relies on corn. And as this report from Corn Refiners Association shows, it also has a huge economic impact! 🧐

A farm's size doesn't define how sustainable it is, whether it grows good food, or whether it's family owned. In this case, size doesn't matter.

We saw major changes in the way consumer purchased We saw major changes in the way consumer purchased food in 2020 during the pandemic. People were eating out less, cooking at home, and dealing with grocery shortages. 

Some people are really excited that organic food sales went up and see this as a larger trend. But as I point out in my latest article, the sale of conventional produce went up as well. 

Either way, the fact that people are eating more fruits and vegetables are what we should really focus on!
