It looks to me that the GM lobby is trying out a new strategy to promote GM crops, and this time it is "think of the children".

- sschueller 7y agoIt's not new. The story was alway: "We need GMO to eliminate starvation around the world". But somehow people are still starving and the industry is making more money. Why feed the hungry if you can make more profit selling GMO to those who already pay?
- Frondo 7y agoWe already produce enough food per capita world-wide for everyone on the planet to be morbidly obese. The problems are in distribution; they're political and logistical. That won't change until the people (both in the West and in nations with widespread food insufficiency) in charge start doing some things differently that people with wealth and power seldom decide to do on their own.
