Think Tank Tuesday 11/24: FDA Approves GMO Salmon

The FDA approved the sell of Frankenfish genetically modified salmon. The fish has been altered genetically to produce a much larger fish for consumption, but the general public is clearly against this monstrosity even being sold in local markets:

[Last week, the Federal Drug Administration approved the first genetically modified animal to be commercially sold and consumed nationwide. But instead of U.S. retailers taking favorably to the historic news, more than 60 supermarket chains are refusing to sell it in their stores—Costco now included.

The second-largest retailer in the world—Walmart is the first—said in a recent statement that it hasn’t sold and doesn’t intend to sell the GMO salmon. The news comes nearly three months after more than 18,000 people sent letters to Costco stores across the nation urging the retailer to forgo selling the salmon created by AquaBounty Technologies. 

In June, a coalition composed of fishers, Costco customers, the Community Alliance for Global Justice, and other advocacy groups rallied outside the chain location nearest the company’s Washington state headquarters and presented more than 300,000 petition signatures from nationwide organizations. At the time, Costco responded to the petition by saying it didn’t plan to sell GMO salmon—and the chain has reaffirmed that stance in the wake of the FDA approval.

Costco joins supermarket chains including Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Safeway, and Kroger in promising not to sell the genetically modified fish, according to environmental group Friends of the Earth.

... The GMO salmon will not be labeled as such, as the government doesn’t require foods containing GMOs to be labeled, and the FDA noted in its approval of AquAdvantage that it would not need to be designated as a genetically modified product. Instead, AquaBounty CEO Ron Stotish told The Washington Post last week that the fish would likely be marketed as Atlantic salmon. The fish has an added gene, which the FDA classifies as a drug, that allows it to grow much more rapidly. ]source

What are your thoughts? Do you agree with the FDA's stance on genetically modified organisms being safe for human consumption or are you against it? Should the general public have the right to choose if they want to consume GMOs requiring appropriate labels in stores?

Think Tank Tuesday 11/17: Future Police Chief Drops N-bomb

picture source: yourblackworld.net

When Donald Sterling's racist rant was made public, he was banned from ever being an owner in the NBA. What should happen if someone like a police chief hopeful makes blatant racist statements about blacks? It would seem that a mayor wouldn't employ an individual like that, but it seems that may not be the case in Farrell, PA: 

[The email was related to a book drive and fundraiser. 

“Good morning. Please click and review. Even a one dollar will be greatly appreciated. Them Sharon n–gers gotta learn how to read,” the email read.

Farrell Mayor Olive McKeithan supports the police chief.

“As the mayor of Farrell and as an African American, I stand behind Mr. Burke as police chief for the city of Farrell,” she said, according to WKBN.

“Until you get to know a man’s character, you can’t judge him by one off-the-cuff remark, or else we would have to judge all white people as equally guilty,” she added. “I have spoken with Mr. Burke and consider the matter as closed.”

The local NAACP is planning on having a conversation on race in the aftermath of the controversy.

“As the president, the NAACP has some things in place the city could use. That’s the dialogue we’re going to have. We can put things in place to stop things like this from happening,” Mercer County NAACP President Monica Gregory said.]source

What are your thoughts? Should Thomas Burke be the next police chief of Farrell, PA?

Think Tank Tuesday 11/10: Should This Judge Be Removed?

picture source: yourblackworld.com

Circuit Court Judge Olu Stevens found himself in hot water when he released a jury consisting of all white people:

[“There is not a single African American on this jury, and [the defendant] is an African-American man,” Stevens said to a jury on a courtroom recording. 

“I cannot in good conscience go forward with this jury.” The decision on whether to remove Judge Stevens from criminal court was delayed after more time was requested to consider the matter. 

“Given its potential impact on the dockets in Jefferson Circuit Court, Minton would like to take some time to consider the matter before making a decision,” Leigh Anne Hiatt, the Public Information Officer for the Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts, said in a statement, according to the Daily Mail. 

Commonwealth’s Attorney Tom Wine demanded Stevens be recused from criminal cases after the judge criticized the prosecutor’s office in a series of Facebook posts.]source

What are your thoughts? Did the judge make the right decision to release the all white jury to bring in a more diverse jury or did he misuse his authority? Should he be punished because of his posts on Facebook?

Motivational Mondays 11/9: What Are You Known For?

 

Most people have a pretty good idea of what their strengths and weaknesses are but may have no clue as to what others may consider their strengths and weaknesses to be. This week we'll focus solely on strengths because knowing what you're good at gives you the courage to fearlessly take action toward achieving your goals whereas focusing on weaknesses may discourage you from trying to reach goals.

In the video below Nana Danso challenges viewers to find out what other people who know you (family, friends, professional associates, etc.) consider to be your best strengths so you can take that information and use it to improve your life:
