Links for October 30

Just a few quick links in the forty minutes I have left to read as much of this week's e-mail as possible...

Sales Pests

I'm sure somebody out there can think of a way to make this company very sorry they've allowed sales pests to harass people like this...

We Need Labels on GMO Foods

I'm also 100% sure that unlabelled GMO corn and rice (modified to be more like wheat, which is poisonous to us) had a lot to do with Grandma Bonnie Peters' and my lowered resistance to this year's cold/flu/whatever. I've not had bronchitis since 1982, but I've had it this month. GBP has had pneumonia. I've been seriously sick as a result of eating the one last brand of rice that hadn't made me sick before last summer, too. GMOs are safe? Reeeally?

Wrong Answers

We don't need insurance companies involved in this. We need low-cost, third-party-free ways to help food-intolerant babies get the right sort of food.

Tourist Attractions

Would you visit an island to see just another tourist-trap store? (Groan.) Just another condominium? (Hey, I didn't say you had to answer that.) What about feral horses?
