We need either GM food or population control, preferably both.
- cinitriqs 13y agopopulation control... = misunderstanding of basic science... GM food = NOT the GM Food the companies tell us about. We have been "modifying" genes for centuries thanks to simple, natural selection/crossing. Instead of putting more money into those methods (looking at crops region to region) the GM-maffia is only trying to patent a "universal/general" crop that should work in large areas.... anyhow, I am presenting all this very simplistically, but, I do not feel the need to insert genes from animals into plants n vice versa. Is a study into GM necessary: yes, do we need to let monopolies decide policy for the people? no f'in way...
