The oldest living organisms in the world are the Bristlecomb pines of the mountain regions of California and Nevada. They can live for greater than 5,000 years and in the course of their lifetime they will see 1,000,000 sunrises!
Genetically modified food
Genetically modified food It is getting harder these days to find food which
has not been genetically altered in some way. Men's Fitness
Magazine reports that about 60 to 70 per cent of the food found in
supermarkets has had their DNA spliced and diced. Last year, 65
million acres worldwide were planted with genetically modified
seeds, and most of these form the basis of common food items such
as ice cream, cereal, pasta, bread and soda. 18 MAY 2000
