    That's great.

    Let the multi-nationals create global warming and food shortages so they can force their industrial mutant food down us.

    See if the super-wealthy eat genetically modified foods or not...

      i think this is good news for the agricultural sector. Any technology that can alleviate food shortage needs to be given a short. I detest those who have been trying to create a wedge between science and farmers. Critics of gm food need to realize that you cant stop a technonology from taking its roots. Blogger James has a very nice blog on GM crops. It's called GMO Africa - http://www.gmoafrica.org

        Asbestos sounded like a real good idea to.

        To KEEP US SAFE, remember?

        Don't be too trusting of those who can profit from mass starvation.

        Actually this food crisis WAS CREATED by screwing around with the natural strains.

        The Rockefellarian "Food Institutes" and "Research Bureaucracies" decided in the 1950's to ELIMINATE all the wild strains of wheat and just go with FOUR! (For the purpose of total CONTROL, no other reason.)

        Well NOW those four strains are not resistant to the stem rot.

        So the twisted scientists of Monsanto (Terminal Seed) etc, are now "struggling heroically" to "develop a new resistant strain" since THEY THEMSELVES PUT THE WORLD IN THIS POSITION by eliminating the natural strains THAT WERE ALREADY RESISTANT.

        And now they got us where they want us.
