Technology hasn't stopped hunger, the claims of mad scientists notwithstanding. Anyone with right brain critical thinking can see that population will just keep increasing, and it has. Even if you 'solved hunger' you'd have even more environmental problems to solve. There is such a thing as a 'pyrrhic scientific victory', I think. Too many discoveries like these and the planet will be done for.

So now we have an invention that will deplete one resource instead of another. Awesome, go science!
