Bill Gates Calls for More Accountability on Food Programs

2. Eh, don't get me started.

I'm well aware that you believe billions of poor people need to die to save the rest of us, and I suppose that's the fundamental disagreement I have with your POV. Maybe you also believe they need to die to spite Monsanto, but the fact is there is plenty of non-Monsanto seed available. It just happens that Monsanto seed tends to produce higher yields and need less pesticides.

So are you pro-pesticide as well as pro-hunger?

"A 2008 review published by the Royal Society of Medicine noted that GM foods have been eaten by millions of people worldwide for over 15 years, with no reports of ill effects.[109] Similarly a 2004 report from the US National Academies of Sciences stated: "To date, no adverse health effects attributed to genetic engineering have been documented in the human population."[7] The European Commission Directorate-General for Research and Innovation 2010 report on GMOs noted that "The main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130 research projects, covering a period of more than 25 years of research, and involving more than 500 independent research groups, is that biotechnology, and in particular GMOs, are not per se more risky than e.g. conventional plant breeding technologies."[110]"
