Chiquita‚ great work on the discussion‚ you highlighted the impact and struggles experienced by GM over the years on the American society and the world to be exact since they are a multinational organization.

GM foods should play no role in the global food supply because GM foods have no beneficial role within humans lives. GM foods were supposed to be made to benefit humans lives‚ and help to make more plants to give to the people. Instead

Effects of a Strong Or Weak Philippine Peso Currency Two conflicting stories came out of a national paper this week. One announced that exporters are badly hurt by the appreciating peso while the other states that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) claims that the surging currency is beneficial to the Philippine economy. Those stories seem to tell the Filipinos that we cannot have our cake and eat it too. Whenever there is a good effect‚ there is a corresponding draw back. Let us take the first
