The companies say they want to feed all the world's starving people. I wish I believed that. Few companies want to give money away - which is what they'd have to do to feed the starving.
Hungry people have no money to buy food or land to grow it on.
That is why they're hungry. Not because there isn't enough food. I think the companies are in a hurry because they want to make money fast. If they could all agree to slow down while proper tests go ahead, everyone would be much happier. The big seed companies like to say that their GMO seeds and foods are 'substantially equivalent' - meaning more or less the same as ordinary seeds.
