The controversy over genetically-modified food is becoming a thing of the past. The new controversy is over nano food.

Many new kinds of food?for both humans and animals?will be coming out soon, all based on nanotechnology. Examples are a super nutritious chocolate milkshake (which isn’t needed in the West, where we all get plenty to eat) and chicken feed that removed dangerous bacteria from poultry. Since most chickens produced in the US are infected with salmonella, this could be important. But is nano food dangerous?

If you’re in despair because you can’t find time to go to the gym, you should know that three or four short, brisk walks throughout the day can be more helpful to people watching their blood pressure than one continuous bout of exercise.

Researcher Janet P. Wallace says, “You might think, ‘I don’t have the time to go to the gym or work out for 40 minutes, but I might have the time to do 10 minutes here, 10 minutes here and another 10 minutes here.’ Four 10-minute walks would be ideal.”

On November 23, 1953, an F-89 Scorpion jet was scrambled from Kinross AFB in Michigan to intercept a UFO. The fighter was observed on radar to merge with the UFO. It then disappeared from radar. In 1968, parts that might have come from the plane were found on the Canadian side of Lake Superior. Now the Great Lakes Dive Company believes that it has not only found the jet, but also possibly part of the object it was pursuing. The remains are in the waters off Michigan’s Keesaw Peninsula, and are being investigated by the dive company. David Helwig writes in SooToday.com that at 6:22 p.m. on November 23 1953, an F-89 Scorpion jet was scrambled from Kinross Air Force Base near the Michigan Soo to intercept an unidentified object detected in restricted airspace over the Soo Locks.

We once put up a story about fluorescent fried chicken and the late materials scientist Bill Mallow told us that certain bacteria can cause skin to glow under “black light,” which is light that is almost exclusively in the soft near ultraviolet range, given off from a special lamp that provides very little visible light. UFO researcher Dr. Roger Leir says that many abductees with implants have skin that glows under this kind of light. Now scientists have not only managed to breed baby rats from momma mice (by in vitro fertilization), but they also produced an unexpected benefit: the baby rats produced this way glow green!
