America is the world leader in Agriculture.
GM crops is one of the reasons why.
More and more advances will come with GM foods.
There is now talk of having GM bananas that would serve as a vaccine for many diseases that would not need refrigeration.
Believe it or not, one of the primary costs that preclude world-wide vaccinations is the cost (and logistical trouble) of regridgeration.
Hogwash, we were the leader long before artificial GM came along.
