People First

It really, really bugs me when first world organizations, who live in societies that have the economy to deal with say, a ban on DDT, try to impose their values on third world countries that are being crippled by something that could be solved were it not for the first world organizations delicate sensibilities. Let the people grow frankenfoods if it keeps them from STARVING TO DEATH or use DDT if it keeps them from DYING OF MALARIA. Once the third world economies are functioning, then start worrying about all these things we have time and money to worry about.

So 30 years of wasted time later, I applaud this compassionate move by the WHO.
