From what I saw from the trailer and the first 8 minutes, seemed like a lot of baseless bitching. The second you start bashing genetically modified organisms is the second you lose all credibility. 1/6 the world is starving now? Without GMOs, it would be more like 1/3.

Meaning you can't support our growing population with organic food. You need genetically modified crops to be able to grow more in quantity and size as well as resilience. Genetically modified crops have saved lives.

if we spent more money on organic crops, and less money on drugs and all that other stuff how wouldn't we be able to support our population ? their wouldn't be any money making , but it could easily be done. Especially if we stopped polluting shit too would it not be do-able, if no why not?

No, I mean there is literally not enough space on earth to feed 7 billion people with organic crops and animals. Has nothing to do with pollution or drugs.

True i guess i see where you're coming from, but it is still a very good documentary that can open ones eyes to make their own life style changes if they really care about their health

there is a way to eat organic food without any modified crap while sustaining 7 billion people: stop raising livestock for its meat. the amount of energy wasted on this could end world hunger, free up a ton of land and end our obesity problem.

matter of fact we might have to do this once the world population climbs above 10 billion.
