Quotes of the Day: Thoughts on Protesting Genetically Modified Food

Here are two quotes, actually.  Here is one by the late, great Norman Borlaug (remember who he was and what he did?  This man fought hunger with science and saved a billion lives.  No, really.  And most of them were in poor nations and the developing world):

"Some of the environmental lobbyists are the salt of the earth," Borlaug said," but many of them are elitists. If they lived just one month amid the misery of the developing world, as I have for fifty years, they'd be crying out for tractors and fertilizer and irrigation canals and be outraged that fashionable elitists back home were trying to deny them these things."

The other is from Penn Jillette: "It's pretty easy to protest when you're not hungry."  

Watch him take down the enviro/anti-GM food protesting types here.  Warning: some salty language (par for the course for Penn and Teller).  By the way, you do know that the "organic food" craze is nonsense, right?  Also, here is a thought: whom do you think has greater credibility: scientists like Borlaug or fearmongering lobbyist loons?
