Fear of science will kill us by Michael Specter
Talk about fake vitamins, organic foods, genitically-engineered foods and more. I’d like to share you all this CNN video of Michael Specter. He says that fear of science can have deadly consequences. He say the debate over genetically modified foods is off base, all of the food we eat is genetically modified and that genetic improvement of food is the key to feeding billions more people.
