This program was perhaps the worst "Nova" I've ever seen.

The over-the-top implication that people will have to do hand pollination
was just stupid - what has happened in the part of China where they
filmed the hand pollination was not "CCD" at all - what happened there
was the over-use of overly toxic pesticides to kill all living things except
the crops being grown.

Nova used to be programs that any science teacher could use as
a "lecture on VCR". Quality has gone downhill, but this one was really poor.
