If these people had a sense of humour i would presume it was an april fools joke .
The professor of molecular biology also advocated the widespread introduction of genetically modified foods, slamming those who have criticized the unknown effects of GM as living in the past.

“We wouldn’t think of going to our doctor and saying ‘Treat me the way doctors treated people in the 19th Century’, and yet that’s what we’re demanding in food production.”

So not only are we overpopulted and need reducing , but we should also trust modern medicine /science as it is saving more lives than in the 19th century ? :confused::rolleyes:

One of most influential scientists in the US government has said that the Earth’s population has exceeded the planet’s “limits of sustainability”.

Dr Nina Fedoroff, the science and technology advisor to the US secretary of state, currently Hillary Clinton, told the BBC’s “One Planet” program that “There are probably already too many people on the planet.”

“We need to continue to decrease the growth rate of the global population; the planet can’t support many more people,” Fedoroff said.

Fedoroff, a National Medal of Science laureate (America’s highest science award) has held the position as government advisor since 2007 and previously worked with Condoleezza Rice.

“We wouldn’t think of going to our doctor and saying ‘Treat me the way doctors treated people in the 19th Century’, and yet that’s what we’re demanding in food production.”

Fedoroff’s comments echo those of other prominent scientists who have thrown their weight behind the long term agenda to implement measures to stem the population of the planet. This view is gaining ground with increased pressure on governments to act over climate change as the justification.

Check out some stats from this site:

Hmm. I wonder who was the 6, 666, 666, 666th person born in the world???

That's total nonsense. People have been successfully eating natural foods since the beginning with no ill affects. Now, with highly processed, modified compounds, we are seeing the development of 'conditions' hitherto unknown--precisely BECAUSE of the types of food we are consuming and how they are processed. GE foods are dangerous. They are invasive crops. They are tools of the corporate world. They try to put a barcode on life.

We don't need GE crops to eat well. There is absolutely no evidence to this effect. There is a growing organic movement afoot that specifically REJECTS GE crops and chemical methods.

Check out this letter to Obama from Michael Pollan, regarding the critical need of American society to return to a more natural and suistainable method of farming and food production.

The impact of the American food system on the rest of the world will have implications for your foreign and trade policies as well. In the past several months more than 30 nations have experienced food riots, and so far one government has fallen. Should high grain prices persist and shortages develop, you can expect to see the pendulum shift decisively away from free trade, at least in food. Nations that opened their markets to the global flood of cheap grain (under pressure from previous administrations as well as the World Bank and the I.M.F.) lost so many farmers that they now find their ability to feed their own populations hinges on decisions made in Washington (like your predecessor’s precipitous embrace of biofuels) and on Wall Street. They will now rush to rebuild their own agricultural sectors and then seek to protect them by erecting trade barriers. Expect to hear the phrases “food sovereignty” and “food security” on the lips of every foreign leader you meet. Not only the Doha round, but the whole cause of free trade in agriculture is probably dead, the casualty of a cheap food policy that a scant two years ago seemed like a boon for everyone. It is one of the larger paradoxes of our time that the very same food policies that have contributed to overnutrition in the first world are now contributing to undernutrition in the third. But it turns out that too much food can be nearly as big a problem as too little — a lesson we should keep in mind as we set about designing a new approach to food policy.

...

The American people are paying more attention to food today than they have in decades, worrying not only about its price but about its safety, its provenance and its healthfulness. There is a gathering sense among the public that the industrial-food system is broken. Markets for alternative kinds of food — organic, local, pasture-based, humane — are thriving as never before.



Reject GE crops and grow organic. Grow locally. Eat locally. The Earth is a robust vehicle, whatever alarmists are shouting. Grow more plants that are bee-friendly. And don't support cash crops that basically rape the land. Reject chemical fertilizers.

It is the right of every free-human being in existence to grow their own food. And to grow foods that haven't been tampered with by the hands of idle science.
