Its interesting of a topic enough. Its interesting how Penn and Teller put on their entertaining video series Bullshit! about how banning GMO's is tantamoutn to making people in poor countries starve, and just a few montsh ago Venezuala passed a much stricter GMO bill(I have not read it fully yet) then what they had before and the country is starving.

Good job! If Penn and Teller ever renew their series or do a best-of DVD series with a new commentary at the beginning of the shows showing how they changed over time, that link may well be the first thing they mention!
Right now I wonder. If the first world can't quite find a sustainable way for energy distribution, or isn't willing to pursue the technologies in time, then I would bet that banning GMO research is flat out the dumbest thing the coutry could possibly do for the future. I have been seeing some interesting research/suggestions that crops like rice could be nutritious for half the total resources or less as its normal variety.
With the possibilities of much more food for the same resources, banning GMO research is horribly self defeating for a Green person to do.
GMO's might be the golden ticket for sustainable agriculture!
