Norman Borlaug

This article was very interesting to me in that it provided a counter argument which it supported genetically modified food. Throughout this course we have been reading the Omnivore's Dilemma which has seemed to have a negative view and approach to GM food. I also agree with Norman in that it is easy to discourage genetically modified food when you are not hungry. I see GM food as being strong and potentially very beneficial to the future of the world. As long as it will save lives I have no objections toward it.

When watching Penn and Teller's bull shit and they interviewed the Vegans on the board walk, it was easy to see that they had never really experienced hunger like that of those in third world countries. They seemed rather ignorant to the fact that even though GM foods are not "organic" they still are saving thousands of millions of lives around the world, which is a lot more than their "salad burritos" are doing.
