"A growing number of experts agree with Dallaire that the international community has to learn how to stave off genocide, not just regret it. We must learn more about what kinds of conflicts lead to disastrous ruptures of the social fabric, which ones can be stopped early, and how to mitigate those that erupt full-blown. The social science of peacekeeping is a worldchanging enterprise.

Did the sugar industry succeed in controlling the U.S.-based FNB report but fail with the WHO/FAO report? What does this say about the FNB scientists who also devised the new protein recommendation?
