There is nothing wrong with genetically modified food. People in the US eat it all the time, even if they don't know it. What annoys me about articles like this is that they skirt around an obvious solution to this and other environmental problems: don't let the world's population grow to 10 billion people. We already know how to do this, and they are things we should be doing already: empower and educate women, provide better family planning, provide better healthcare.
- beat 7y agoWe're already doing those things. If you dropped the birth rate 50%, the population would still grow for the next few decades. Why? Because the primary cause of population growth today isn't high birth rates - it's increased life expectancy. If you want to control the population, you'll have to resort to more old-fashioned means, like banning antibiotics and vaccine and the occasional genocide.
