en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug This man is actually my hero. His agricultural research directly prevented the deaths of ~1,000,000,000 people from starvation over the second half of the 20th century--I dont think theres anyone else, ever, who can claim to have saved a billion lives. Like, let me put that in perspective: The world population didnt reach 1 billion until around 1804. So suppose that on July 4th, 1776, just as White Jesus was ringing Liberty Bell to signal the birth of a New Free Nation Some Restrictions May Apply, an extinction-event-sized asteroid breaks away from the asteroid belt and hurtles towards Earth. At the last minute, right before collision, Guy Fieri falls out of a time portal caused by a grease fire and, with the power of Smashmouth and hair gel, diverts the course of the asteroid and saves the entire population of the Earth. In such a scenario, Norman Borlaug is /still/ a bigger hero than Guy Fieri. i guess i just really want this to be a norman borlaug appreciation/guy fieri meme thread
