Republican Scientist Disses Organic
The title is unfair. Just because Nina Fedoroff works for Condi Rice is no reason to call her a Republican. (She's the science adviser to the Secretary of State.) She's interviewed in today's Times and says:
"If everybody switched to organic farming, we couldn’t support the earth’s current population — maybe half."
I agree, but I suspect many NYTimes readers will not.
Have to give credit to Rice for having such a post.
