Hi ,

I wish somebody would ask these companies to establish how GM foods are going to alleviate hunger which exists in countries like India when we alreday produce enough to feed everybody , yet leave millions to go hungry .
In addition the US is seeing unprecedented hunger , the last heard almost 50 million eperience some form of hunger , why is that happening inspite of record Gm commodity crops being produced in the US. Why is nobody asking these seed companies about this?

Linking of Gm with hunger was the master troke achieved by these companies through their PR agecies and beguiling ads and people have fallen for it ....obviously thats why nobody seems to want to even investigate hy farmers the world over are gettingincreasingly impoversihed and seed companies declaring record profits with GM seeds..
Please let us all ask some of these questions before saying facile stuff like environmentalism meets hunger ! they are not an either or situation ..
And many of us in India are tired of being told that Gm seeds are to appease our hunger whie all they address is the greed of transnational corporations !

Folks I know who work for Cargill mention this kind of scenario to defend the company.

I'd be less concerned about the actual effect of the GM crops and more concerned about Monsanto trying to patent the strain and then sue the hell out of anyone who grows non-Monsanto crops (having just watched Food, Inc.).
