Organic activist Maria Rodale presents her Manifesto' | AP Books News - The News Tribune

I love this part:
Q: What about the argument that we need chemical and GMO farming so we can feed the world.

A: The fact is we have too much food. Biofuels (made with corn and other plants) were created because we have too much food. ... Famine is not about lack of food but lack of access through political dysfunction. What really struck me as inhumane and wrong-minded is that farmers are convinced by chemical companies to believe otherwise.
