I would enjoy reading an article that made an argument about what was at stake and what might be lost with high intensity farming and capitalized distribution, but I can't take seriously something that long about food in Ethiopia that doesn't even mention the fact that 1.2 million people died only of hunger only a generation ago. Was that Melinda Gates' fault too?
