Conclusion: Green can be Irrational

Abstract: Abstract In the middle of the 19th century, a Catholic monk started interfering with nature. By 1865, Gregor Johann Mendel had published his ‘laws’ following his experiments of inbreeding lines of pea plants by means of repeated self-pollination. This gross interference with the natural law caused no outrage, no indignation, nothing. In fact, it was not until 1900 that three other botanists stumbled across Mendel’s work and realised its significance. Today, this pioneering work is at heart of modern agriculture. We all eat modified food — especially vegetarians.
