It is so great to see thought leader on sustainable food, including you and Mr. Pollan, getting the level of attention you are from the entrenched interests that stand to lose.

Fortunately, their loses will be the gains of hundreds of millions of people that will eat more sustainable, healthy foods.

Just the kind of “trouble” I like to get into!

“After my talk, our new ambassador to U.N. agencies in Rome, Ertharin Cousin, thanked me but told the audience that the opinions they had just heard were mine alone and did not represent those of the U.S. government.”

Bring it on indeed! Hooray for you, Marion, champion of the people. We’re with you out here.

Here’s part of the problem: “Some argue that genetic modification of crops is the only way to increase food productivity and reverse this trend.”

No a single person I have ever spoken to said that is the “only way”. Can you please provide a source to demonstrate that?

Your are unhelpfully polarizing this, which results in backlash.

Excellent article Marion, thank you for this. Remember what Ghandi said: “First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. And then you win.”

We are 3/4 of the way there.
