Idiocy from the left
There were demonstrations in Sacramento this weekend where a conference was being held to discuss genetically modified food. At least the maingroup of demonstrators kept the Anarchists under control - apparently when the Anarchists started throwing garbage, organizers cleaned itup and kept it cool.
But I can't understand people's attitudes about GM tech. There are places in Africa where people are starving to death and the government won't accept GM food from the US, even milled grain that wouldn't grow if you tried.
GM food grows under harsher conditions, yields more crop, and is resistant to insects. We're no talking about putting DDT on the food, we're talking about combining the best parts of different genetics to feed the most peoplewith the least cost.
Isn't that a good thing?
