Monsanto - Bad Food, Good Capitalism

I'm not interested in defending Monsanto. But I'm also not interested in attacking them.There's a lot of hype coming from critics. I prefer to wait for actual evidence.Almost all food is genetically modified, at least compared to what is/was available in the wild. If the alternative were to live on wild berries and roots, and the wild animals that we could catch, then the planet could only support a tiny fraction of its current human population.

I agree on both points.Overall, what is happening is a bit too far from my expertise, so I am mostly watching.I do think that there are serious problems with patent laws and practices. Both gene patenting and software patenting need some sort of examination, review, and perhaps rethinking.

I agree with that.If we could cut the world's population to 1 billion or less, that would solve many of the problems of pollution and global warming.I would want to see this done gradually, by reducing birth rates, rather than with a program of mass slaughter.Unfortunately, most politicians are unwilling to even discuss this issue.

I don't have any problem with that. However, it will be very difficult and very expensive. I don't see it happening in time to relieve the pressures of increasing population.
