Pretty scary sounding to me... More evidence that we better know the source of our food and grow as much of our own food as possible....
Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own. {COL 69}

I was told that the technology stems from that used to grow skin in petrie dishes for skin grafts.

Pretty scary sounding to me... More evidence that we better know the source of our food and grow as much of our own food as possible.... Thank you, Tammy. This is becoming more and more important that we know what we eat. Some Adventist ate some beef recently at a cafeteria, but discovered afterwards this was artificial beef made from pork! Why should we be so anxcious to use artificial meat, regardless of how vegetarian it is, when the best comes straight from the ground God provided for man to work with since the days of Adam?
"Here is a last piece of advice. If you believe in goodness and if you value the approval of God, fix your minds on the things which are holy and right and pure and beautiful and good. Model your conduct on what you have learned from me, on what I have told you and shown you, and you will find the God of peace will be with you."

When EGW says that we should all have a small plot of land where we could grow or own food it makes you understand why country living is so important now days.With all the GNA foods. I had a watermelon that I had bought and had left it sitting on my kitchen counter for a couple of weeks and it had showed no signs of spoiling, so I decided to see how long it would take before it spoiled, well after 6mo I finely threw it a way and it sill hadn't spoiled.

Man is definitly tampering with traditional foods. The more I read about it the scarier it gets. From irridation of fresh food, adding genetic material from animals to genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rBGH) used to increase production of milk in dairy cows. According to an article by Patrick West we may be getting something extra in our food. Are Our Fruits and Vegetables Vegan? by Patrick West With the genetic alteration of our foods, many of our fruits, vegetables, legumes, and processed foods contain genetic material from animals. By genetic alteration (also known as biotechnology, genetic engineering, genetically modified), I mean that genes from one organism are extracted and inserted into the cells of another organism in the laboratory. For example, tomatoes have been engineered with a gene found in the blood of flounders. This gene is responsible for keeping a flounder from freezing in the ice-cold waters in which it lives. The modification is made to create tomatoes that will grow in the cold of winter without freezing. Another not-so appetizing example is lettuce engineered with genes from rats to "enhance" its taste ........................................................................................... Another genetic engineering development is Bt crops, crops that contain the naturally occurring insecticide, Bt, used as a last resort by organic farmers. So, instead of being sprayed by the chemical, every cell in the plant now contains the chemical. Pesticide residue is no longer a problem because now the pesticide is contained in the plant itself. http://www.health.rmad.org/west_comment.htm

Yes I have had some strawberries and pineapple in my fridge for a few weeks now and the berries are just now starting to go bad. It makes me wonder. I didn't get plant a garden for the past few years but I'm going to try and get one in this year. Had a few sunny days so started to think along those lines. Need to get my seed catalogue out and get some plants started.

In the U S for the past month or so the news media has given reports of contaminated pet food. The pet food has also been reported to have been fed to "farm", "caged" fowl, fish, and mammals that are now out in the market place. One of the items in the food that was contaminated was reported to be gluten.
I am wondering if there is any possibility that some of this gluten has been used in the "meat analog" industry and in products such as "Vital Gluten"?

Organically grown food and organically fed chickens, etc. seems to be the thing where I live, as I see it advertised very clearly and carefully in our grocery stores.

My husband recently watched a program on one of the science channels about how a they have used an ink jet printer to create a heart valve. As this technology is perfected there will no longer be a need for organ donors. A Wake Forest University researcher has successfully created 18 types of tissue, including a sheep heart valve, in his laboratory. Medicine's Cutting Edge: Re-Growing Organs Dr. Atala, one of the pioneers of regeneration, believes every type of tissue already has cells ready to regenerate if only researchers can prod them into action. Sometimes that prodding can look like science fiction.
Emerging from an everyday ink jet printer is the heart of a mouse. Mouse heart cells go into the ink cartridge and are then sprayed down in a heart shaped pattern layer by layer.
Dr. Atala believes it's a matter of time before someone grows a human heart.
