Do you know who Norman Borlaug is?

If you don't, you really should. Really. The guy is responsible for saving probably over 1 billion lives by leading the green revolution of the 60s and 70s in developing countries. Way more lives than any religion, especially if you discount those taken in the name of religion and by organized church.

I must confess that a year or so ago I had never heard about the guy (ok, he is an old man today and his Nobel peace prize is from 1970). Or maybe my memory failed yet again, but I doubt I ever saw his name on my high school textbooks. My point: it is really fucked up that most people never heard about him and his work. Get informed and think twice next time you buy the supposedly environmentally friendly overpriced organic produce.
