A very interesting article, beebuddy. Thank you. I wish it had gone more in depth.

However, I think it's important to note that it's not GMOs that are credited with feeding and saving Billions in the noted developing countries, but rather what is referred to as "cross-breeding."

Very important point, trillian.

"To learn is to live, to study is to grow, and growth is the measurement of life. The mind must be taught to think, the heart to feel, and the hands to labor. When these have been educated to their highest point, then is the time to offer them to the service of their fellowman, not before." - Manly P. Hall
