Four Boobs Against Genetic Engineering

There’s Only So Much I Can Give

Mothers Against Genetic Engineering in Food and the Environment (MAdGE) launched a billboard campaign in Auckland that shows a four-breasted woman hooked up to a GE branded milking machine. The campaign calls attention to the practice of genetically engineering cows to deliver more and different kinds of milk.

“New Zealanders are allowing a handful of corporate scientists and ill-informed politicians to make decisions on the ethics of GE. Our largest science company, AgResearch, is currently putting human genes into cows in the hope of creating new designer milks. The ethics of such experiments have not even been discussed by the wider public. How far will we allow them to go? Where is the line in the sand? Why is the government lifting the moratorium on GE when we have not even had a public debate on ethics?” said Alannah Currie Madge founder and billboard designer. Thanks to Adland for the link.

I’m 73 and my husband planned a cruise for our 50th anniversary and by the second evening I was standing on the deck looking at the ocean and crying—not because I was unhappy but because I’d expected to feel something enormous and instead I felt exactly the same as I do in my kitchen, and the realization that geography doesn’t fix the thing that’s wrong when the thing that’s wrong is internal was the most expensive lesson I’ve ever been taught in a bathrobe

Research suggests the simple act of eating a meal without your phone has become one of the most radical things a person can do for their mental health — not because the phone is harmful, but because the meal without it is the only daily occasion most people have left to exist without being reachable

The generation that was never allowed to be tired, never allowed to be lost, never allowed to need anything from anyone is now sitting in quiet houses in their late 60s and 70s wondering why a lifetime of being needed by everyone left them feeling known by no one

The real reason your aging father who never expressed emotion in sixty years of marriage openly weeps when the family dog dies isn’t sentimentality. The dog was the one relationship where he was allowed to be soft without it being questioned, and the grief isn’t just about the animal, it’s about losing the only door he ever found for the feelings he was raised to lock away

My daughter described her childhood to a friend last week and I overheard it from the next room—and the mother she described wasn’t cruel or cold, she was just less present than I remember being, less patient than I thought I was, and less fun than I tried to be—and the distance between the mother I performed and the mother she received is a gap I can hear but never close because her version is the only one that counts

Psychology says the people who check on everyone but are never checked on aren’t stronger than everyone else. They just learned very early that their pain made other people uncomfortable, so they stopped presenting it.
