"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
I don't want to conquer world hunger.
We're already too fat.
Whooooo! Until we run into that starving country that worships the cotton plant and is enraged at the thought of eating it.
Word Hunger is conqured from a production standpoint. We produce more then enough food to feed everyone. It's a distribution problem. I don't see how edible cotton will fix that.
IIRC, cotton strips the soil of nutrients and needs lots of ferticlizer for other crops after it. So while you are growing food, you are killing the growth value for crops.
