The recent New York Times article in the July 25, 2008 issue talks about Europe and their lack of endorsement of cloned animals and their milk for human consumption. They maintain that there is inadequate studies, too many questions unanswered, and will not permit their import into Europe yet:
The European Food Safety Authority pulled back on Thursday from giving milk and meat from cloned animals a clean bill of health, making it less likely that such products could reach store shelves in Europe anytime soon.
Dr. Gardner’s comments: I couldn’t agree with Europe more. I am very concerned about the lack of long-term studies in this whole field of genetically modified food, cloning, and food safety. Give me grass-fed and free-range animals anyday over concentration camp conditions of breeding and raising and inadequately studied cloned animals.
I need to get off of caffeine. I became addicted to it after suffering headaches and taking excedrin. Now I have rebound headaches and even diet coke fills in when I need an extra boost. I have tried weening myself off and never made it. Is that the only way off?
There are only 2 ways to stop the addiction to caffeine--cold turkey and have a miserable 3-7 days or slowly, which just prolongs the misery, and may not work. My wife's mother described herself as a 'coffee-a-holic', drinking up to 13 cups per day. She stopped cold turkey, had a miserable few days, and has never touched it since. Sometimes energy work like acupuncture or Jin Shin Jyutsu or cranial-sacral may take away some of the side effects. Be sure you are on a good multiple vitamin, as this may also help with your strength and your resolve.

The closer things are to the way nature intended the better! At least that’s how I tend to think!

Tam, Great thinking–I couldn’t agree with you more.
