Can you please name another human being who actually saved even close to HALF a billion people? Anyone? Fictional characters don’t count. Jesus “saved” souls, if you believe in science fiction..
Of course I know all about this man. I did my paper on him and it was very interesting. I started to think…
There’s not even a debate about it. Norman Borlaug is the greatest man who has lived. EVER !
It is estimated that he has saved one billion lives. That’s Billion… with a B!
One out of six people in the entire planet owe their life to this man. He’s over 90 years old and still dedicates every waking moment of his life to agricultural research for the betterment of all mankind while Greenpeace douchebags try to stop them because they don’t like GE foods.
Oh, or he saved two billion people. So take the awesomeness of my previous post and multiply it by two. That’s borlaug.
