Blue zones....should be studied and respected.....not targeted by a company buying up land to push unpopular GM crops. It is a small country with unique ecosystems.

Blue zones

National Geographic and world longevity researchers identify pockets around the world where people lived measurably better.

They found five Blue Zones, places where people reach age 100 at rates up to 10 times greater than in the United States.

Sure. You still haven't explained how GM crops are going to destroy this unique ecosystem. Do they not have any agriculture in Costa Rica? If not, do they import all of their food?

....to push unpopular GM crops.

Yeah, GM crops were unpopular with some people when Norman Borlaug "pushed" them as well. Those unpopular and dangerous GM foods ended up saving a billion people from starvation. Those evil GM crops also saved the environment from the havoc wreaked upon it my antiquated agricultural methods.

Morons, illiterates, chemicalphobes, and Luddites, always fear innovation. I have no doubt that there are many such people in Costa Rica. If progress were left up to these idiots, we'd still be standing around a bonfire wondering why no one ever lives to be 30.
