A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.

Comment: Yes, alleviating the food crisis is a laudible aim, however this article only serves to confuse the issue. The food crisis is not caused by some mysterious all-pervasive substandard crop quality to be fixable by some genetic 'magic bullet'.
Food-price shocks are a result of financial manipulation of the world's markets. Starvation is caused by economic and military destruction. No amount genetically engineered tomatoes can alter the fact that genocide, economic blockades, corporate/political theft on a global scale, are what cause hunger.
Genetically modified foodstuffs are being heavily pushed by the same players who participate in all the above, so why? The most significant result of genetically modified crops, to date, is that 'terminator seeds' have been developed and are widely pushed. These seeds are sterile, producing only a single generation of crop that cannot produce its own seeds. So, farmers are 'locked in' to keep re-buying seeds from the manufacturer, year after year. How in the world, does THAT alleviate the food crisis?! Obviously it doesn't, it simply adds to the hunger and poverty, and feeds the greed of the pathological corporations that set up this situation.
