For whoever claims that GM food will solve the "hunger crisis", there's
some (non-GM) food for thought. While this may have some (still dubious)
grounds in countries with highly industrialized agriculture, think about
the large number of (semi) analphabet farmers in the poorer countries --
who are who feed the masses of the "hunger crisis" the GM foods are
supposed to solve.

That's similar to the pharma companies that spend billions to extinguish
the placebo effect from their results -- when any sane mind would think
that it is exactly the placebo effect one would want to optimize. But then,
there's no money in that...
