I have officially decided that this class I am taking is no fun :P These are my next set of problems I have to answer and I think they are podunk. I really love numbers 4 and 6 really....really do I not have anything better to do with my life than worry about starving people in Africa and if the damn flowers Im buying are genetically modified? Shit half of everything we buy has been modified in some way or another why worry about the dang flowers. My biggest pet peeve is that I have learned this exact same crap in two other classes. Its like they are beating into my brain that we as a human race are evil, we will destroy this planet one way or another. Oh, and by the way global warming is happening...like right now....seriously it is happening. I read it in my textbook. 2. Under what conditions might grazing cattle be sustainable when growing wheat is not? Under what conditions might a herd of bison provide a sustainable supply of meat when cows might not? 4. Pick one of the nations in Africa that has a major food shortage. Design a program to increase its food production. Discuss how reliable that program might be, given the uncertainties that nation faces. 5. Should genetically modified crops be considered acceptable for “organic” farming? 6. Your are about to buy your mother a bouquet of 12 roses for Mother’s Day, but you discover that the roses were genetically modified to give them a more brilliant color and to produce a natural pesticide through genetic energy. Do you buy the flowers? Explain and justify you answer based on the material presented in this chapter. 7. A city garbage dump is filled; and it is suggested that the area be turned into a farm. What factors in the dump might make it a good area to farm, and what might make it a poor area to farm?
