7. No. He wants U.S. to spend aid money buying GM seeds from American-based companies...
(Monsanto and ADM) so third world farmers can grow their own crops to feed their own people. But yes, it was a huge "FUCK YOU" to American farmers, not to mention the damage cross-pollination with GM crops will do to - and have done - to indigenous and staple crops all over the world.

Too bad third world farmers can no longer afford the fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides for those very hungry, Round-Up ready crops. However, since those items are also products of huge U.S. based corporations, I'm sure each of them has their foot in the door and their eye on their fair share of those same aid dollars.
