The world needs more food for its growing population. No f.....ng shit. If they don't have food they will destabilize? No. The people are going to die and then the world population will stabilize.

How about clean water? Duh?

No god dammit. What we really need is more Ethanol to burn in our oversized cars and SUV's. Its the only way to rid ourselves of this middle eastern oil dependence.

We MUST divert corn and grain AWAY from poor, starving countries and into my gas tank.

Point well taken Kojak.

The world needs more food... but don't even think of using genetic engineering to solve the problem. The PETA folks do not want that. Say no to GMO foods. Because starving children should die instead!
