Guess what in this quote infuriates me:
"James Murray, a professor of animal sciences at the University of California at Davis, says the fears surrounding genetically engineered foods sound similar to concerns about microwave ovens, which some people initially thought would give off dangerous radiation or blow up pacemakers.
Murray is working on genetically modified goats as a way to produce milk that can fight devastating diarrhea in poor nations.
With the world population predicted to surpass 9 billion before 2050, genetically engineered food is the only hope to avoid starvation, he says.
That many people cannot be fed "using agriculture as it is right now," Murray says. "What is the cost to humanity if we do not use this technology?""
I'm still not thrilled with Michelle Cove's categories for single women, but she's sort of redeemed herself in interviews, and you'll notice a theme in these comments. I have to admit, since we're talking about perpetuating unsubstantiated and unflattering stereotypes of single women, that 30 Rock is quite guilty.
