This is an amazing video that should be watched all of the way through. Although, you might have to pause it to yell at the screen.
Rachel Parent (14 years old) recently put forth a GMO debate challenge to Kevin O'Leary, host of the Lang and O'Leary Exchange on CBC Business "News". Surprisingly, he accepted. What you see below is the result:
She made cogent, researched, points and was able to bat his talking points down like a mom being lied to by a child. She was also able to school them on the differences between GMOs and hybridized seeds. Rather than address any of her points, he attempted to condescend, demean, and to change the argument. She stood her ground and was the clear winner.
She did so in the face of vitriol and rhetoric that spewed from O'Leary's lips. Lang, not to be left out, ganged up on this brave young lady. Of course, she did help seal O'Leary's point that restated one of Rachel's points: We are the lab rats for Monsanto and other Big Ag GMO-producing companies.
Very well done, Rachel. You give me hope for the future.
I've long believed truth-seeking teens to be smarter and wiser than many who claim to "speak for the masses".

This gets my vote as the Funniest Video of 2013!
