engineered often to produce more food fight against pests or improve nutrition But concern is growing over the lasting effects of changing nature While existing research has found little harm in genetic engineering a recent study found the flower powder of a genetically engineered corn can kill the normal butterfly This finding made many people nervous and brought attention to the topic DiningDining outout Americans are increasingly eating meals away from home both in sit down restaurants and in fast food outlets In the last decade alone there was a 14 percent decrease in the number of meals eaten at home At the same time restaurants are just beginning to really open their doors on the Internet Websites exist to make restaurant reservations 预约 view menus and get tips from your favorite chefs The dining out trend and the demand for high quality chef prepared food have encouraged chefs to spend time out of the kitchen teaching classes appearing on TV and writing cookbooks EatingEating inin Eating in doesn t always mean cooking Ready made meals and frozen food sold in supermarkets taste better all the time Restaurants are offering neatly packaged food to go and meals can be ordered over the Internet Cooking is not as much as a necessity as it is a hobby a special treat Home cooks are looking to more than just mom s food and want to make food they try in

Pakistan in the nineteen sixties He won the nineteen seventy Nobel Peace Prize He ninety three years old still works as an adviser at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico In accepting the medal he urged Congress and the administration to increase development assistance for agriculture He said the world needs better and more technology to deal with hunger In his words Hunger and poverty and misery are very fertile soils into which to plant all kinds of isms including terrorism w w w k s 5 u c o m In the 1940s Norman Borlaug and a team developed highly productive and disease resistant wheat for farmers in Mexico About twenty years later millions of people in India and Pakistan were in danger from grain shortages The improved wheat from Mexico also grew well in South Asia combined with changes in growing methods Norman Borlaug persuaded farmers to use more fertilizers and pesticide chemicals and to water their crops with irrigation systems Also many a crop can be planted in the same field The results were big production gains that many believe saved as many as a billion lives President Bush noted that hunger still affects much of the developing world He said the most fitting honor for Norman Borlaug is to lead a second Green Revolution that feeds the world Yet his support for new agricultural technologies has been criticized at times over the years
