Jeremy Rifkin, the president of anti-biotech Foundation on Economic
Trends wrote an article in the Washington Post last week, in which he
argued that Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) will render transgenic
technology obsolete. In a no-barred affront at the multinational
biotechnology companies, which he accused of "hoodwinking" the
world that genetically modified food is the next scientific revolution
to rid the world of hunger and malnutrition, Mr. Rifkin argues that
marker assisted selection will guarantee farmers clean seeds that
can't compromise their health and environment. This is pure
balderdash, from a man who sees nothing good in modern crop
biotechnology. I would like to remind Mr. Rifkin a number of things.

First, genetically modified crops' increasing acceptance by farmers
all over the world attest to their popularity. Nobody can convince me
that the million of farmers who're currently growing genetically
modified crops are doing so under duress. They appreciate the value of
GM crops and that's why they are going for them.

Back to the subject.... Just saw the new Ford commercial about their
cars being ethanol E85 compliant. I was wondering when they were going
to use that as a promotional piece. Does anyone think now that Mr big
auto corporation is promoting this, that we're any closer on making
ethanol a worthwhile product? I mean, why else would they promote it
if it isnt for profit?
