What the....?

The Green Revolution, led by Norman Borlaug and "big ag," is credited with saving anywhere from hundreds of millions to more than a billion people from starvation, the majority of which were children and infants.

Only someone who knows nothing about the most important American no one knows about (Borlaug), and genetic modification, could make such a ridiculous statement.

Most of the food you eat has been genetically modified in some manner. Mother Nature regularly takes genetic code from unrelated organisms and splices it together. Rather than letting it happen randomly, we are now able to direct the process for our own needs in much less time. The results of such endeavors is the ability to feed people who might otherwise starve. And you don't "trust" the people who made this possible? You Luddites are a trip.
