Who's Norman Borlaug you ask?
Probably the greatest American hero of the last century you've never heard of.

He was one of only five people to have won the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal.

Because of his work with genetic engineering and high yield crops, world food production more than doubled between 1960 and 1990.

He's credited with saving an estimated 1 Billion lives.

God speed Norman.

...imagine if he'd had focused his efforts on human longevity?

He'd still be alive. (No disrespect intended, just kidding.)

Godspeed, Norm. You are owed an enormous debt of gratitude.
