GM Crops Save China

You may have already heard, but China is full of people. 1.3 billion of them, to be exact. To put that in perspective, imagine one person, and then multiply that by 1.3 billion. Consequently, it's becoming increasingly difficult for the Chinese government to feed all these people, who, like most people, require food. Enter genetically modified crops. This is exactly why GM crops are so useful, as they can produce more food with less space. Unfortunately many people, including the European Union, have a flimsy grasp of the science behind GM crops. They believe that somehow eating corn engineered to be bigger and juicier will make them grow bat wings. Or something. China has launched a plan to boost its production of GM rice, corn, and soybeans and to continue its production of GM cotton and vegetables. Anti-GM nutjobs should consider that this is the same government that, instead of building a ceiling on its Olympic stadium, decided to simply control the weather. Some things are simple enough even for the batshit crazy to understand. More details here.
