Excerpts from the book I am currently reading - one of the best books of 2010, Stewart Brand's Whole Earth Discipline: An Ecopragmatist Manifesto.
"There is no science to back up the reasons for concern about foods from GM plants at all. Hundreds of millions of people have eaten GM foods, and no one has ever gotten sick. Virtually all beers and cheeses are made with the assistance of GM micro-organisms, and nobody gives a damn."
- Peter Raven
"You people in the developed world are certainly free to debate the merits of genetically modified foods, but can we please eat first?"
- Florence Wambugu
