# Wait a minute....
Aren't America vehemently against genetic research anyway? What with being filled with extremist Christians et al.

# So trying to breed hardier crops to prevent famine,
or which provide greater yields or whatever, is a bad thing too?

# And let us ignore the fact that GM crops have created golden rice (I think it had a better name than that but I forget it)
which was normal rice but had Vitamin A added which could potentially stop the millions of deaths and permenant blindness which occurs in the third world. But let's ignore that and ban it on moral grounds, and let all the children die instead.

# We were talking about human genetic research, genetically modified food sources have been going on for years.
And the majority of it doesn't even involve genetic splicing and is just intense research and selective breeding, selective breeding which has gone on for years.

Carrots used to be white until the 15th century or so, but I don't see you complaining about that.
