His findings would be ignored for several decades. He had begun the science of genetics between morning and evening prayers. Now, let's get to the most recent century. In 1914, Clarence Birdseye invented quick-frozen foods, making many seasonal vegetables, meats and fish available at any time of the year. Some people probably were frightened of the idea of defrosting these foods and actually eating them.
People tend to be afraid of new ideas.
In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick, two researchers, defined the structure of DNA, leading to a better understanding of how cells in all living things store, duplicate, and pass on genetic material from generation to generation. Within the lifetime of a single person, we had moved from Mendel to cracking the DNA code. By 1990, the US Department of Agriculture had approved the first food product modified by biotechnology, Chymogen, an enzyme used in place of rennet in cheesemaking. Not only that, it can feed them without having to cut down a single tree to create new farmland. The answer is that the Greens always have and always will oppose anything that benefits human beings.
