Without GMO we never would have experienced the "Green Revolution" and a billion of people (or more) wouldn't be alive today

Foolish statement, would you like me to point you to studies from Kansas and Iowa about how the yields of GMO crops are less than natural seed crops, it's true, you are uneducated.

Oh, good grief. Who am I going to believe...a guy like Norman Borlaug, one of the most respected and inspiring members of the scientific community, or some ignorant chemicalphobe who posts all sorts of crap science from the internet?

For a time finding fault with high-yield agriculture was fashionable among environmentalists and other scientific illiterate organizations. But the facts are not open to debate. You can take issue with Borlaug's achievements but that only puts you in company with a bunch of fools that never took the time or made the effort to learn of what they speak.
