Relying on "gigantic corporations" for food, he said, would result in "absolute disaster".

"That would be the absolute destruction of everything... and the classic way of ensuring there is no food in the future," he said.

Snip.."If they think this is the way to go....we [will] end up with millions of small farmers all over the world being driven off their land into unsustainable, unmanageable, degraded and dysfunctional conurbations of unmentionable awfulness."

[Toddsterpatriot]

Oh no, not conurbations of unmentionable awfulness!

Cousins shouldn't marry.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Environmentalist idiocy ping!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Norman Borlaug is laughing.

[freedom1st]

The dork who will never be King.

[Abathar]

I take anything scientific coming from a guy who’s family tree looks like a telephone pole with a grain of salt myself...

[RexBeach]

This looks like a headline from “The Onion.”

Chuck reminds me a lot of Queen Vickie’s kid, can’t remember his name but he was a real doosh too.

[Ramius]

All agriculture has always been about genetic modification.

[Don Corleone]

Another reason to abolish the monarchy.

Solidifying his position as "Upperclass Twit Of The Year" yet again.

“Solidifying his position as “Upperclass Twit Of The Year” yet again.”

He gives twits everywhere a bad name.

You must be thinking of King Edward VII’s eldest, Albert Victor. He was a real piece of work.

[Mase]

It's a good thing Charles has his mother and the state to care for him.

At least three-fourths of everything this moron eats has been genetically modified in some way.

Prince Charles: So mercifully spared from the ravages of intelligence.

[Wallace T.]

Thank God the United States not only was established on a republican basis, but specifically forbade American citizens from obtaining titles of nobility by means of the Constitution. It is also fortunate that in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the British Parliament restrained the power of the monarchy. As bad as that nation's Labour Party is, it would be worse off with Charles as an absolute monarch in the manner of the Stuarts or the Tudors.

"If we all starve now, we won't run the risk of starving later!"

[<1/1,000,000th%]

So we’ve been dead for 100 years?

[tumblindice]

I think that was him. Died of some VD?

[Constitution Day]

Why should we give a damn about what anyone from the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha says?

[Borges]

Did you know Borlaug is still alive? He’s 94.
