Ending Vitamin A Deficiency: How Golden Rice Can Save Lives, Patrick Moore
    #28386713 - 07/06/23 04:43 AM (6 months, 20 days ago)

Patrick Moore, Ph.D. is best known as a co-founder of Greenpeace who famously left the organization when it pivoted towards an anti-human agenda. Today, Moore continues his pro-human position by advocating for the use of golden rice.

Golden rice is a genetically modified variety of rice that has been developed to contain higher levels of vitamin A. It is called "golden" rice because the modification gives the rice a yellow or golden color. Vitamin A deficiency is a significant health problem in many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries where people rely heavily on rice as a staple food but may not have access to other sources of vitamin A. Golden rice was developed as a potential solution to this problem by adding genes that enable the rice plant to produce beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A.

I used to be much more worried about GMO - but Monsanto is at war with all of us.

The left in all it's forms mostly fights with itself. A big reason is too many competing intellectuals.

Patrick Moore has some good positions and others not, such as his denial of human causes for climate change.

With GMO food I'm not current on how they're dealing with the issues of genetic non-diversity. In the 70's they developed seeds that increased food production and allowed 3rd world population growth, but the plants were more susceptible to possible total die off, compared to the naturally occuring diverse species. Since pathogens evolve, will GMO need continous modification, like the flu shot.

The focus of plant and animal breeding, which has been ongoing for 10,000 years, has always been a method of developing crop varieties that are stronger than their counterpart wild type species and are usually much more able to survive pathogens and abiotic stresses. 

The $190B global tomato market wouldn't exist without plant breeding.  There are exceptions and an occasional disaster, such as Panama disease (Fusarium wilt) in bananas. But we always know the risk when we depend on clones!  It's a known risk we choose to take.  Crops such as rice, corn, wheat, alfalfa, onions, and carrots are not clone based systems. 

Some species such as potato are plagued by newly evolving viruses. Breeding potato to resist such pathogens is often thru traditional breeding and not GMO.  Pathogen resistant varieties are often developed without GMO.  You can concentrate resistance via recurrent selection, as was done in ancient times in Mesopotamia.
