Norman Borlaug was one of those guys who truly earned his Nobel Peace Prize. He won it at a time when the award actually meant something - as opposed to now.

This article is a little long but it's a good read. As you get further into the article, you can see that Borlaug too tangled with environmentalists and referred to them as "well-fed elitists."

All I can say is "Job well done, Mr. Borlaug".

Comments or opinions - anyone?

FTA: Critics also accused Borlaug of contributing to overpopulation. With more to eat, more people would survive through their reproductive years, they said, and eventually the population would catch up with yield gains, causing a resurgence in hunger.

Right before your Borlaug response: Idiotic elitists.
