Nobody in America is starving because THE LOCUST PLAGUE ATE THE CROPS, PAW. They're starving because corporate capitalism is psychotic and someone has to lose for someone else to win. This is a whole different thread- that I'm sure as shit not going to make on this message board- but if our economic hoodly hoodly hoo wasn't so fucked up we not only wouldn't have starvation in America, we could provide food for a ridiculous portion of the rest of the world, easily. That is, IF scientists were allowed to do their jobs and use research to find ways to create crops that were easy to grow and had large yields... without a bunch of people from Portland protesting and calling for boycotts because some assclown put it in their heads that anything that has ever been touched by human hands is bad
