POPSNobody Knows What Nanoparticles Do -- Yet They Are in Food, Cosmetics, and Toys Some studies find little or no risk. Others are alarming. One reason nanomaterials can cause trouble is that they are small enough to evade the body's defenses. "The take-home message for me is, the behavior of these particles is very complex," Gruden says. "When you take a nanoparticle and put it into the environment, you have to know how it's going to behave. And we don't."

POPSFlexitarianism "Given the environmental, cruelty and health impact of a meat-based diet, going vegan is best, going vegetarian is good, and being a flexitarian is like smoking two packs of cigarettes instead of ten, beating one pig down the slaughter ramp instead of two, and pouring a pint of gasoline down a drain instead of pouring down a gallon."

POPSWar Of The Corn. Watch out Europe. Refusing to have USA's genetically modified corn rammed down your throats may just be seen as an act of terror. (What isn't?) Eat up now...and yes, you can have seconds.

POPSBan The Plastic Bag Bangladesh slapped an outright ban on all polythene bags in 2002 after they were found to have been the main culprit during the 1988 and 1998 floods that submerged two-thirds of the country. Discarded bags had choked the country's drainage systems. Nylon fishing nets, fishing line, bags, 6-pack rings etc, kill hundreds of thousands of animals every year and will continue to do so for hundreds, if not thousands of years to come. Horrible, panicked and painful deaths by drowning, suffocation or internal damage. If Bangladesh can ban the plastic bag and get by, surely so could we!

POPSThere Is No Wealth But Life Being willing to say such things about capitalism does not mean that one has a special access to the Truth, but it also doesn’t mean that one is a mere ideologue, or that most dismissible of things, a communist. It merely requires honesty about what looks us right in the face. It requires intellectual conscience. The whole article is definitely worth a read.

POPSJail Party Photos Horrify Minister I have no qualms about this, especially since it was a fund-raising event. People in jail are still people and I'd much rather prefer that the prison manager and the prisoners can get along like this, than the opposite.
