As a matter of fact, you are now expanding on exactly the point I was making (or part of it anyway) -- in some places, of which Zimbabwe is an example, agricultural problems are caused by political issues. Normally it is a good place to grow stuff. The same just is not the case in, say, Sahel, and attempts to grow enough food using old methods and old crops just lead to deforestation, drought and generally more problems.
And while you personally may not mind GMO use, there are a lot of people, some of whom can negatively affect those countries, who, out of sheer ignorance as far as we can say at this time, very much do object to GMO use regardless of labeling.
- TangoTrotFox 9y agoRight, and there are also people who who support GMOs out of pure ignorance. Lots of different people, lots of different views on most any topic of course! But I guess we're about wrapping up?
- TangoTrotFox 9y agoAlso, been a fun chat. But I think these things could be so much more civil if folks (on any side of any issue) would lay off the straw men. There's no need for that nonsense. It may make debate easier, but we should really be able to defend either side of any issue, within reason. Failing to be able to do so probably means you're not really considering the other person's point of view. And if you don't do this how would you ever expect to convince anybody of anything?
