“Nathan Myhrvold is a notorious patent troll. I am so glad that you had Alex French guy cooking on the show. He deserves a lot of kudos for his science and cooking synthesis. The interview with Mark Lunas was rather thin on the discussion of the science. I don’t dispute the science that GMO food is dangerous for those eating it, but that it may create more problems than it solves. For instance, when you put BT into corn, the pests evolve to counteract it, so it is a zero sum game. Moreover, with GMO you don’t know what will happen a few generations later. I think the precautionary principle ought to apply. There are points where this show gets things so wrong that I have to question the rationale for why it even exists. Vivian Howard is Paula Dean without the butter.
Chris, when you compare something to quantum mechanics, please have a better grasp on both subjects.”
