"This thing has immense potential for social and human destruction." Startling words - but spoken by the father of the Green Revolution, Nobel laureate Norman Borlaug, they are not easily dismissed.

Or perhaps it has the potential for human salvation.

Perhaps if wheat becomes scarce for a bit, or much more expensive, it will not only be easier for us to find safe food but think of all the people doing gluten challenges and not knowing it. If people had to cut it out of their diet, or even go gluten light, perhaps more would realize the negative effects it is having on them.

That is a good point. One has to ask if his quote comes from the perspective of thinking that we have the inability to adapt (though there are many - sometimes more nutritious - grains that grow in the same types of climate as many varieties of wheat) or if there are concerns about it spreading to other cereal grains (which, again, really comes down to a question of adaptation).

That did happen in Europe during WWII, people in Holland and a few other places noticed a huge difference. That is why they started looking into it so much and why it is more known in Europe.
