No! If you read any of the latest books on GMO's all of the publicity
about feeding the developing world is totally false. It's all paid for by
Monsanto and the chemical companies that have a vested interest in GMO
products. Just read the books. The "golden rice" product will feed less
than regular rice and cause famines, not prevent them. Read something that
is not paid for by a chemical company!
