Royal but essentially right
August 14
Whatever the merits of Prince Charles' invective against GM crops, intensive agriculture is to blame for the food crisis
(...) Nevertheless, Prince Charles is to be applauded for raising these issues: he deserves a pat on the on the back for speaking up.
Graham Harvey: Prince Charles is right to attack intensive farming | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk |
Oh my! And here I was thinking that the age of miracles had passed!
I really feel incredibly proud to know that he is my future King. I know we have a world-wide shortage of food but there are miriad reasons for this. They include drought, war, and the move from food to fuel crops instead of oil.
Darfur starves while the government of Sudan exports almost as much food as the aid agencies bring in. Call it callous indifference on the part of all those in a position of power. Both those that sell and those that buy.
Prince Charles is sounding the alarm bells, and me, I can't forget that they called him a harmless idiot with a penchant for talking to cabbage when he expounded on the virtues of Organic Farming over 20 years ago. I also realise that he is dining out in fine style on their arrogance, or to put it bluntly, he who laughs last, laughs longest.
