AFTER READING YOUR ARTICLE ABOUT genetically modified
foods [July 31], I am sure that the public debate about this subject
is too serious to be left to organizations that rate high in theatrics
but low in public education. If genetically engineered and enriched
food could help starving people around the world, it would be a pity
to lose this opportunity because of some well-fed protesters
in silly costumes.

IF THE THIRD WORLD DOES NOT CURB its exploding population growth,
no amount of genetically altered food will save it. Family planning that will
result in fewer children will improve the standard of living far more effectively
than enriched rice.
