The entire "Frankenfoods" hysteria has been a ruthless scam from the beginning. It is nothing more than a successful attempt by European - yes, especially French - farmers' cartels to keep competition to a minimum. The cloying self-righteousness of the Greens in the face of real starvation is one of the most glaring signs of a left that has utterly lost its moral compass and is stuck in a self-willed blindness and a retreat into wishful thinking as a solution to real problems.
One sign of this is that it resolutely ignored pervasive and categorical human rights violations in Iraq, preferring the fiction that the U.S. was intervening only in the interests of the oil companies, an illusion it is yet to give up. Another is this situation, where those who feed the starving for no cost at all are cursed as exploiters and defenders of industrial, "capitalist" farming. And they will happily ignore the starvation rather than admit that they're wrong.
