TV worth watching
You probably won’t find this on U.S. television, nor on the Mexican stations (well, maybe Canal Onze), but worth watching is French journalist Marie-Monique Robin’s two-hour probe of Montsanto — “The World According to Montsanto” — produced for the Franco-German ARTES network.
After reviewing the history of the chemical giant turned bio-tech company — and essential agricultural supplier — the program begins looking at the effects of bio-engineering on crops at after the first hour. At about an hour and twenty minutes, attention is focused on the problems GM corn has caused in Oaxaca, and the fight by local producers to protect native strains.
The program file is too huge to post here directly. BSAlert has The World According to Montsanto (in English) on a “Google Video”.

Norman Borlaug contributed greatly to help Mexcio escape from potential famine by using Genetically Modified wheat. His work in 1944 caused Mexico’s wheat production to double. He then went on to save India. He continues to work on ending famine in Africa.
Borlaug won the Nobel Peace prize in 1970. It was estimated that he had saved over 12,000,000 lives from famine. Lives of people who spoke a different language, had a different god, and were of a different race.
Anyone who opposes GM crops has never had to miss a meal themselves.
Borlaug has dismissed most claims of critics, but does take certain concerns seriously. He states that his work has been “a change in the right direction, but it has not transformed the world into a Utopia”.
“Some of the environmental lobbyists of the Western nations are the salt of the earth, but many of them are elitists. They’ve never experienced the physical sensation of hunger. They do their lobbying from comfortable office suites in Washington or Brussels. If they lived just one month amid the misery of the developing world, as I have for fifty years, they’d be crying out for tractors and fertilizer and irrigation canals and be outraged that fashionable elitists back home were trying to deny them these things.”- Norman Borlaug
