We Are Sliding Back Into A Dark

In The Last Century, As We Learned More About Genes, We Were Able To Devise Ways Of Accelerating Evolution.

We Have Six-and-a-half-billion People On The Planet, Going Rapidly Towards Seven. We're Going To Need A Lot Of Inventiveness About How We Use Water And Grow Crops.

Myths About The Dire Effects Of Genetically Modified Foods On Health And The Environment Abound, But They Have Not Held Up To Scientific Scrutiny. And, Although Many Concerns Have Been Expressed About The Potential For Unexpected Consequences, The Unexpected Effects That Have Been Observed So Far Have Been Benign.

We've Gotten So Good At Growing Food That We've Gone, In A Few Generations, From Nearly Half Of Americans Living On Farms To 2 Percent. We No Longer Think About How The Wonderful Things In The Grocery Store Got There, And We'd Like To Go Back To What We Think Is A More Natural Way.
