“In the fall of 2006, Friends of the Earth publicly asked governments in the hungry African countries of Ghana and Sierra Leone to recall American food aid that contained genetically modified rice.”

On the one hand, it is easy to be an environmentalist, when others must go hungry for your cause.

On the other hand, I remember reading that the issue was that it is normally made impossible for genetically modified crops to yield viable seed.

Translation: Biotech crops have the potential to yield yearly income to Biotech stockholders, since farmers MUST buy seed yearly.

We should learn to eat coal and drink oil.
There’s plenty of both that aren’t allowed any other use so at least we won’t go hungry or thirsty-we will die,of course,but that’s the point isn’t it?
Earth sans man,the liberal environmentalist wet dream.

Norman Borlaug is one of the unsung heroes of humanity. He should be lauded for his achievements in trying to feed more people. For some reason beyond one's comprehension, the Left has been adamantly opposed to biotechnology to both increase crop yields and eliminate dangerous environmental side effects like herbicides and pesticides. The field should be seen not as a threat but as a blessing at a time of food shortages and higher prices. Biotechnology is the key to a happier and healthier human future.
