    Anyone who thinks progress in genetic engineering hasn't been made.

    This is a good read.

      Dwarf wheat has (If I remember right) 5x times the yield.

      Its also harder for people to digest and not as healthy. (Especially GMO wheat which is sprayed with glyphosate.)

      Its the motive behind the retro movement of growing & harvesting old school einkorn wheat despite yields being 5x lower.

      ...


      Populations in places like india doubled over the last 50 years.


      While japan's population has been shrinking.

      Maybe we can expose everyone in the world to japanese culture and have their populations shrink instead.
