Asking the right questions

The question isn't Can Biotech Food Cure World Hunger?

The question is can biotech and globalism sustainably grow enough food to feed the people trapped on this blue-green gem of a world?

Agricultural biotechnology has become monopolized by a companies that basically want to end the utilization of openly pollinated foods everywhere. Big agribusiness cares for the bottom line, not the survival of billions. If entire ecosystems are destroyed by pesticide use, if the food produced has engineered toxins with little nutrient value, or if no one can afford to plant it or buy in the third world but the Right sort of people, that's fine with them.

Go read the comments in the New York Pravda link above. Many people realize the real problem. Shill as they might, the problem is exposed- until the comments are buried or deleted anyway.
