Some 12 million people in parts of Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, Uganda and Somalia are in danger of starvation in the wake of the region's worst drought in decades. War-wracked Somalia is the country hardest hit by the Horn of Africa's drought, with five areas declared to be experiencing famine.
When I hear people bashing GMOs, I have to ask, how selfish can you be? As the world’s population continues to increase we have to find ways to provide food for all of these people. How are we going to do this? Only with the help of modern technology will it be possible.
As we sit here in this country with our bellies full and satisfied, watching film footage of mothers in Somalia having to choose which of her children will eat and which she will have to let die…what message are we sending to this mom and to the world? You and your children are not important enough to get past our narrow-minded bias? Because we are afraid, we prefer for you to starve to death? We won’t believe science that it is safe?
FOOD THAT I PERSONALLY EAT AND AM NOT AFRAID OF.
Well apparently that is how some must feel. But I for one will continue to look for ways to feed the world and not let the scaremongers detour me by saying the world is flat.
