Food for Thought

     A friend who had promised to hang out during the summer vacation had girlfriend, and Joe, who had spare time, got a call from his uncle Dave. He injured his arm and asked for help with a farm run. At first he thought he would turn it down, but when he realized that there was a beach near Dave's farm that was suitable for surfing, he decided to go and help.

     However, a farm that grows genetically modified corn will be created in the immediate vicinity of Dave's farm that grows vegetables organically. GM crops are dangerous, Anna, who works on Dave's farm, warned.

     Joe and Kate, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ladock, who runs the next farm, became friends and went surfing.His uncle and Anna were worried about Joe. Anna planned to ruin the farm next to her with her friends, and invited Joe. He declined, but he promised Anna not to say anything else.

     Anna and the others were called by the police, and Kate and Mr. and Mrs. Ladock criticized why Joe didn't tell them about the plan. The couple did not forgive him, but Joe spoke to Kate. Joe said, "I just kept her promise with Anna as her friend." "She was wrong, but she is a brave person who does what she thinks is right." Only Kate forgave Joe.


     In Japan as well, there was the problem of genetically modified rice. I think we have to discuss more carefully whether it is a genetically modified crop or organically grown.
