cybercoma Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I don't know if any of you have watched Penn & Teller Bullshit!, but there was an episode about food and dieting. They mentioned Norman Borlaug as being the greatest human being alive. Have any of you heard of him? It is estimated that he has saved 1 BILLION (yes that's right, billion with a "B") people on this planet. Here's the Wikipedia article on him. I didn't read it, hopefully it outlines his work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazymf Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Guys like that sometimes go unnoticed. I've never heard of him before, but it sounds like he has enabled a few impoverished nations with his agricultural techniques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
for_liberty Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Yes i saw that episode, it was great. It was very funny to hear the President of Greenpeace say that there is no goverment regulation on GM foods and then have the truth come out that it is heavely regulated. It is regulated ny the FDA, USDA and a couple others i can not remember. cybercoma you might enjoy a sight by Patrick Moore. He was co-founder of greenpeace and left them in the 80's. There is a article in the site on why he left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
