Pantene Beautiful Lengths
Well now this is an interesting little prose I am writing. About a week ago I cut of 11 inches of my hair to donate. Yes a lot of people told me to donate it to Locks for Love, but after doing some research and talking to my friend, Michaela, I decided to donate to Pantene Beautiful Lengths program for many reasons. My first reason is that you only need to donate 8 inches. My second reason was that it is for all women not just children. My third reason is the Locks for Love say that they donate to cancer children, however, they usually DENY children with cancer because they have good chances for remission and other children such as children with alopecia which I do respect since they do not ever have hair, but they shouldn't be claiming to give to cancer children they should talk about their help with children with alopecia too. My fourth reason is that Pantene is a company that can put money into these wigs compared to Locks for Love having to sell off unused hair (which I have read is sometime questionable btw). I will do a follow up when i receive my letter from them that the hair was received.

GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms)
One thing that I think confuses many people is the debate about whether to allow the use of GMOs in our agricultural crops. Monsanto is the name that has been thrown around with people saying either they are the devil or that they are great for our country. With the Monsanto Protection Act, these seeds would be protected. However, I want to tell you exactly the potential risks.
One big concern is the use of antibiotic resistant genes that are used as marks that could lead to antibiotic resistant bacterial strains! You know the whole antibiotic resistant thing means you can take medicine to "cure" those right? There is also concern that there might be toxins in the crops such as heavy metals in larger amounts than normal. Yes, research has been shown that the actual crops used in human consumption poses little to no health risk to the population. There seriously needs to be more research done in this field of study before pushing GMOs down the throat of the majority of the human populations. We need to look at the effects it will have on the population in years to come not just the risk of consumption now!
