Richard Resnick: Welcome to the genomic revolution (TED)

[priyaluce]

i like what he's saying up to the part about us humans needing to eat GM foods if our population is going to keep growing. growing GM crops depletes soil, adds to the toxic burden of our environment and do not grow better than traditional crops. if they did, indian farmers would not be committing suicide en masse.

People do not have to volunteer to stop eating to make GM foods unnecessary. Americans and other First Worlders do have to stop OVERconsuming though. Stop making themselves fat. Cut back meat consumption by 50% or more. Stop using food to make fuel.
