Not the car company

It's GM time. China is about to introduce a new genetically engineered rice. The new rice will boost ouput by 30 billion kilograms, enough for 70 million people. As a bonus it will require far less use of pesticides. Greenies will wail about the dangers of GM, even though GM has been a part of agriculture since the beginning. It was first called domestication, then splicing and cross-breeding. The greenies are prepared to deny millions of farmers the opportunity for better yields, higher incomes and lower health problems from their use of chemicals to sustain their guilt and scare campaigns. Makes you wonder who they are protecting.
