a lot of people are getting
all excited about an Indian crop failure who never gave a tuppenny damn
about india, crops or weather before GM

Perhaps because of all the hype about how these GM crops are supposed
to give higher yields, use less herbicide/pesticide, make more money,
feed the world, etc...

What's clear is that this is simply marketing hype by desperate
agrochemical companies who want to sell substandard, expensive,
patented seeds to poor farmers...
