GMO and some parklife

Yesterday was another busy but fulfilling day in a beautiful Melbourne. Went for a run in the morning and after breakfast Gemma took me to one of her lectures about GMO food, which was pretty interesting. I'm happy to see that they were being honest about the subject. I mean of course there are benefits of growing GMO food, but there are risks aswell. Especially in the developing countries where the eco systems often are far more sensitive than those in europe or america. I think we are fortunate to live in Scandinavia where some restrictions for importing GMO-food still apply and where all common sense hasn't been removed in the name of free trading. What really stroke me though was, If it's possible to get larger harvests from growing GMO-crops, how come so many people are still starving? It doesn't make any sense and we have to change this!

After the lecture we met up with some friends in the Carlton gardens for some drinks and silly walking! Great fun.

Now it's time to book some tickets for Tassie!
