You mean my hero, Norman Borlaug. I just heard a guy, a ‘scientist’, talking about overpopulation and how we will be going hungry soon. I laughed and thought of Julian Simon and Norman Borlaug. Is it true that wheat crops are the highest bushel/acre ever?
I had the opportunity to meet him once at an ACSH fundraiser many years ago. First class guy and a firm believer in the benefits of bio-engineering. Today, for some unknown reason, that's referred to as GMO. Borlaug would have some very unkind words for the Monsanto bashers and GMO opponents on these threads.
Of course, he was one of America's greatest scientists ever, won a Nobel when it meant something, and saved more than a billion people from death by starvation by genetically modifying food. So what the hell would he know compared to some internet jockeys that never passed biology 101 and basic chemistry?
