huffingtonpost.com — Norman Borlaug has saved more lives than anyone else who has ever lived. A plant breeder, in the 1940s he moved to Mexico to study how to adopt high-yield crops to feed impoverished nations. He travels worldwide to pass on those skills to feed the hungry. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in the 1970-s and is virtually unknown in the U.S.

Bravo indeed, I'm sure a simple "Thank You" would be satisfying enough for him. A great man has no need for the media.

"Moved to Mexico in 1940 ... Virtually unknown in the United States..."Well, there's your problem right there! He moved to Mexico 60 YEARS AGO! Is it really that unusual to not know someone who left 60 years ago? More Huffington-esque blather about nothing...

Norman Borlaug is a professor at my school. He is also one of my heros. Borlaug FTW!
