I dont understand how food could get cheaper? Dont know how it function in the US, but in my country the minimum payment depends on the food prices. Lower food prices - lower minimum payment. To calculate the minimum payment, there is an existign list of products a normal customer needs to buy each month, including food, cleaning products, cloths, .... If the prices of that goods will be lowered, so will the minimum payment. So people will be able to afford as much food as before, but instead of normal natural food they were eating cheap garbage. And the people that are earning more money then the minimum payment anyway: So why the hell should I want to buy myself crazy non natural food? O_o So in 1000 years I will not buy that food, and I am not interested in spending hours in the supermarket studying products to know which of the food is polluted and which is normal. I also dont profit in any way when the poor people with minimum payment would be forced to buy that stuff, in the opposite: It would be a misadvantage for our neighbor farmers, which is a disadvantage for me.
Also my country is not outdated. So we have lots of research facilities. But they are simply not allowed to test careless plants, that are abled to spread themselfs. Either they are spreading themself by fruit production, which can be controlled or the research fields have to be under tents, so they cant fertilize themselves with the wind.
Also there were already bad experiences with plants, that were called to be already tested of being harmless. Which was simply a lie. So in france they startet to use DNA manipulated plants that inhabits a bit of poison, so that bugs and other small creatures avoid to eat and damage the plants. With those plants came the bee dying. When the farmers stopped using that plants, the bees started to act normal again. Research later found out, that the plants were tested, and the test showed correctly that the poison in the plants were not killing the bees. Thats why the company was allowed to sell that stuff. But as later independetn research showed: So the bees were not killed, but they were extremely dazed from the poison. Because of this dazing, they were no longer able to find their homes as they were used to, to remember their food places as they were used to, and to communicate a new found food place to their comerades bees as they were used too. So the company was right: Their damned plants were not killing the bees, they only drugged them until they were no longer able to live on their own.
The thing is: Its not about romantic crying for some bees. Bees are essential for our traditional agriculture. Lots of our traditional plants need bees for spreading. Loosing the bees forces us to do their work with normal human mancraft, that has to be payed. So the bit of money you save by using that garbage poisoned GMO plants, is easily refunded by the lots of other agricultural products, becoming more expensive because of the humans that need to do the bees work, that want to be payed.
So if the GMO companies and their researchers are able to learn what we mean with the world "prooved harmless", they are welcome. Noone will denie plants that are REALLY proofed to be harmless. But trying to trick us and cheat on us, willingly damaging our tradtional agriculture by trying tricks like "But our plants really do not kill the bees. They are dying alone form hunger, because of our plants drugging them, thats not our fault." and then crying around why we get suspicious against that as*hole companies and dont trust them any more, is a joke.
Fool us once, shame on you. Fool as twice, shame on us.

The best that we can hope for is that Global Warming will help bring an end to the current ice age. Otherwise, the next glaciation is going to mean that starvation and death by starvation will be considered normal for most of the Earth and there will be a massive reduction in the population of mankind. If Global Warming helps postpone the next glaciation by thousands of years, we will benefit greatly.
Please stop that lying. Right now we are using some of the best agricultural land to raise plants that could feed people. Instead we feed the yield of this lands to animals. With the field space you misuse to produce food for an animal that is sufficient to feed one person, you would be able to feed instead up to 50 people if you would use it to grow food for people instead of food for cows. So sure we could watch millions of people die until our momentan food porduction fits again with the amount of people. We also could simply stop being asocial greedy beings, and start to produce food for people again, instead of producing food for animals, that are sold to some few people that can afford that waste of ressources. We could simply return to raising animals as we did in earlier times. So there are enough areas that you cant use for agricultural use, because of having to less nutrients, so there is nothing else growing then grass. Gather the grass two times a year and depending from the amount of hay you could gather during the year, you know how many animals you can feed. Thats how it worked for centuries.
But wanting to spread unproved, uncontrollable plants in our nature that is feeding 100% of our people, with no necessity to do so, only because some rich asocial beings, that are only 5% of our people, cant get their stomachs full enough with cheap flesh is madness and pervert.
