Norman Borlaug on Penn and Teller: BS

@ 3:59 "And most of them were a different race from him"

They weren't human?

The Green Revolution was only possible by increasing fossil fuel consumption. Fossil fuels are now in global decline.

It seems you don't know what you are talking about.

Organic may be better, but do you feed people with good intentions?

Organic as a word, is hilarious. All food from corn to cow, is organic.

Elitists could feed themselves with well grown natural crops, but vast majority of people cannot.
Your statement made YOU an elitist.

Penn&Teller were spot on right.
-This comes from a person in greenfields.

unfortunately Penn is full of crap AGAIN. I guess you have to make money somehow and how better than to kowtow to elitist agendas. Way too much evidence that organic is better, safer, and healthier. I bet penn doesnt even know what a gene marker is. More dribble form the lame anti conspiracy nuts.Try science next time penn, instead of lame unsubstantiated opinions

it's all non-organic food iradiated?

Like any other corn the genetically engineered variety can cross polinate with all other corn varieties, thus "contaminating" it. Before, US did not allow patenting on living things but now they do. So companies that own the GE corn can go after people who, unknowingly, grow it becuase it cross polinated with their corn. The question is, do you want the GE corn to be the only kind of corn? Its variety of the plant that will keep us from starving not one super corn that may die by a super bug.

Eating genetically engineered food is not the problem. The problem is that promotes only one type of crop and limits variety. In the '70s there was a pathogen that killed almost all the corn grown in the US. Luckily, they were able to replace it with a another kind of corn from Mexico that was resistant to the pathogen. Mexico is against GE corn, and they have a huge variety of it.

It's crazy how people underestimate the value of life. Is it because of religon, or sheer stupidity? Why do people fear technology and science when it could benefit so many people? Technologies such as genetically engineered food, life extension technology and medical treatment.

Penn and teller, how the hell do you do it?

Good job guys, people need their fucking eyes opened

They are dirty sand niggers! lets hang them!
