Mexico has moved to protect its native corn, but the picture is more complicated than the viral headline.
In March 2025, President Claudia Sheinbaum signed a constitutional amendment banning the planting of genetically modified corn in Mexico.
The change also protects native corn, which is central to Mexican food and culture.
Analysts say it mostly formalizes a ban on planting that was already in place.

Mexico has moved to protect its native corn, but the picture is more complicated than the viral headline.
In March 2025, President Claudia Sheinbaum signed a constitutional amendment banning the planting of genetically modified corn in Mexico.
The change also protects native corn, which is central to Mexican food and culture.
Analysts say it mostly formalizes a ban on planting that was already in place.
It does not clearly stop imports of genetically modified corn from the United States.
A trade panel ruled in December 2024 that Mexico's attempt to restrict those imports violated the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement.
Mexico then dropped the import limits from its earlier decree.
The United States sold about $5.6 billion of corn to Mexico in 2024, making Mexico its biggest corn customer.
On glyphosate, Mexico planned a full phase-out, but the deadline was delayed in 2024 because farmers lacked alternatives.
Some reports say glyphosate can still be used under regulation, and its current status is unclear.
Supporters say the moves protect Mexican farmers, culture and health.
Critics say there is little scientific proof of harm, and that bans raise costs for farmers. See less

This lady has boldly stated that, she would let her man raise another man’s children for 25 years if the man dares to cheat on her during a discussion on ‘Boys & Girls’ show on UTV.
The topic for the day was ‘Cheating’ and the boys on the show argued that, when a man cheats on a woman, it doesn’t mean he’s ended with the relationship.

Then this lady speaking on behalf of the girls goes ahead to argue that, when a woman also does same too, then the men should accept it, an argument that the boys rejected saying that, in their case, when they do it, they don’t bring another woman’s child and pass it on for another to raise.
While countering the debate, she categorically stated that as for her, if her man does it, she will do it and will let the man raise another man’s children for 25 good years.
Hmmmm, at this point, just make sure you do DNA before naming ceremony because if a woman has this mentality then imagine. Do the DNA test before you raise someone’s child ooo.
Eeeeeeei, if she has a boyfriend he must be shaking right now. See less

Burkina Faso has suspended beauty pageants and launched a competition where young women are rewarded for their intelligence and scientific abilities.
And the winners aren’t just receiving trophies. They’re getting money, scholarships, laptops and even motorcycles.
In June 2026, the West African country’s government temporarily suspended beauty competitions while developing new regulations intended to reflect its cultural values and standards of human dignity.
Two months later, President Ibrahim Traoré’s administration announced HAKILI Mousso, a national competition designed to celebrate talented young women in science.
By September, 84 finalists from across Burkina Faso had gathered in Ouagadougou to compete in mathematics, physics and chemistry.
On 19 September, the country’s top young female scientific talents were celebrated at an awards ceremony.
The three first-place winners each received 2 million CFA francs, a laptop and a motorcycle.
And the rewards didn’t stop there.
All 84 finalists were promised educational support, including university scholarships and assistance with accommodation, meals and healthcare.
The government’s aim is to encourage more girls to pursue careers in science and challenge the belief that subjects such as physics and mathematics are mainly for boys.
Although the science competition hasn’t officially replaced beauty pageants, the two initiatives have sparked a wider conversation about how society celebrates women’s achievements.
Some see this as a powerful step towards recognising intelligence and academic excellence.
Others believe promoting education shouldn’t come at the expense of women’s freedom to participate in beauty competitions.
Should more countries reward young people for their intelligence and academic achievements rather than focusing so heavily on physical appearance?
