What sudden disbelief? I don't remember being a NdT fanboy.

As with everybody, just because someone is correct most of the time doesn't mean, he's always correct (or, in this case, relevant).

Do you believe he is qualified to comment on evolution, even though he's not a biologist? Is he qualified to comment on global warming even though he's not a climate scientist? Why the sudden belief that he is ignorant when it comes to GMOs?

Well, I'm a biologist and a medical doctor. Am I qualified to answer?

The difference is NdT is perceived by millions as "the science guy" aka the ultimate authority on everything scientific. Which he isn't. His opinion on this topic is as good as yours or mine.
In my opinion this isn't a scientific question, but more the question of whether we want to give companies like Monsanto (http://videosift.com/video/The-World-According-to-Monsanto-A-documentary) more money and power.


If you reject GM food as "unnatural" ...

I never said that.


I would also like an honest answer for the question, "Which is worse, world starvation or effects of GM food?"

Do you still beat your wife?
Sorry that's a BS question. Who says, we don't have enough food to feed seven billions? I'd rather make the point that distribution is the problem.

The fact is, we use WAY more adulterated substances in medicine all the time. From antibiotics all the way up to chemotherapy and radiopharmaceuticals. If you reject GM food as "unnatural" then you should never go see a doctor and certainly never take a prescription medication. I guess you could go suck on a Willow tree if you had a headache, but I doubt it would be as good as manufactured aspirin.
