james watsonMonsanto spends bajillions of dollars a year on developing genetically modified seeds and other agricultural chemicals and plant biotechnology. They also spend a few bajillion coins to produce videos featuring experts who are in full support of using recombinant DNA technology to modify our food supply. Dr. James Watson, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, compares environmentalists to cavemen denying themselves a better life.

So recombinant DNA and plants is a way of having a more rational, dependable agriculture. … Farmers having a better life and wanting to stay on the farm. I think many people just want to make things better. It’s part of human nature. You want to have a better agriculture. … More income for farmers. More dependable farming. Cheaper food. … All which can be produced through biotechnology.

And the best quote of all?

Recombinant DNA is the safest technology I’ve ever heard.

When it comes out of the mouth of a Nobel laureate, how can you be concerned? /end sarcasm

  1. Wow! That is a stunner quote. Linus Pauling and vitamin C, now Watson with GM food. Hmmmm….I wonder if that Nobel Prize has anything to do with it ;)

  2. Rebecca: Let’s see if we can get us a Nobel prize and see. :D
