What we need: hard facts and a foods' watchdog
Article Abstract:
The UK should inaugurate the Food Standards Agency (FSA) immediately to deal with food-related health concerns, such as the health implications of consuming genetically modified foods. The FSA should have the powers to consider new food developments from the outset, rather than only the finished product, as well as powers to deal with existing food hazards, such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Academic scientists could be employed to consider food safety issues, such as carrying out scientific trials to research the potential side effects of geneticaly modified foods.

Bigotry in motion

A defense that the bigotry of artists is justified by their art is a perverse twisting of morality and common decency. There are critics who apologize for artists such as T.S. Elliot by claiming that art takes away the sins of its creator. Arguments for justifying the work of various artists are discussed.
