Gates: GM foods conflict threatens Foundation’s efforts

GM foods conflict threatens Foundations efforts Bill Gates, speaking at a World Food Prize forum in Iowa on Thursday, told global food leaders that an "ideological wedge" threatens his global effort to help farmers.

Gates and his wife have focused in recent years on helping alleviate hunger and poverty by giving small farmers the tools to produce more. The Gates Foundation has given more than $1.4 billion to agricultural development, and on Thursday announced nine new grants worth $120 million aimed at raising yields and farming expertise in the developing world.

1. That asshole must be vetted. His schemes are not.
A GM scheme to take mankind past where he can grow real earth evolved plants. So, build a seed bank in Iceland. AS a reboot, when we fuck our food. Force GM seeds, with suicide code contained, on subsistance farmers. Then, they cannot gather seeds for next crop. They take twice the water, and petrochemical ferts, and lots of them. This scheme being the one foisted on them, by the world bank/IMF types. And noone questions it. STUPID HUMANS.
