On another thread, BA explained how yams are native to a grow well in Africa. Rice does not grow well. She also pointed out that yams produce more calories than rice per acre. Finally, yams contain the same vitamin that golden rice was engineered to contain. She not only has a scientific background, but she also grew up in Africa.
Also, stop name calling and projecting beliefs onto me. It’s unbecoming of a conservative. That’s not why we’re here.
There are hundreds of thousands of people, mainly children, going blind and dying from VAD in Asia every year. Golden Rice provides an immediate solution to this death and suffering. Why would you need anyone to explain this to you, and why wouldn't you take on Greenpeace and other Luddite members of the culture of death to make it available to those who need it most? That would be the conservative thing to do. Right?
The term 'Food Luddite' was coined by Steve Forbes in 2014.
Back when the term Luddite was first used more than a century ago it described those who wanted to destroy the mechanical machines that were replacing human labor.
Today and it helps people identify those who wish to destroy the machine built by the American Farmer. That machine feeds us, and also a large part of the world outside our borders.
I don't know if you are a Food Luddite, but if you are, you should wear the badge proudly, because the Luddite project of sending millions into starvation thus far has been an enormous undertaking.
