Anti-Food-tech protesters are no friend of the poor

The Chicago Tribune notes in a lead editorial that the gaggle of assorted protesters assembled in Genoa, Italy has some explaining to do. While they claim to be protesting on behalf of the poor and displaced, they are standing in the way of the open trade markets which would solve these third-world problems.
