Sweet, but ending hunger is incompatible with profit, and this will therefore die a sad little death as it gets legislated into oblivion, if it gets anywhere near gaining traction (which it won't, you just know Monsanto and friends will run a massive PR campaign about how synthesised food is terrorism, GMO is freedom, etc.).

- donohoe 13y ago"ending hunger is incompatible with profit" Really? I wouldn't think so. You don't just "end" something and walk away. You still need to maintain and service the issue. There is profit in that.
- tomjen3 13y agoEnding hunger is quite likely to lead to a nice profit as dead people don't buy anything. The only reason we haven't ended hunger yet is that the poor people are too poor and have too horrible governments to be able to produce things we value enough to buy from them.
