046 GMO's and World Hunger

Hello Everyone!
How are you all?
So today, I'd like to talk about GMO's and world hunger. I think we can all agree that world hunger is a big problem, in fact, the WHO estimates that over 1/3 of all child deaths are from Malnutrition. That is big. We have a possible solution though, and that is the production and use of GMO's. East Asia's so called "Golden Rice" has increased levels of Vitamin A, which will help with the malnutrition the world has. GMO's have proven to be very useful, if you dig-in to it enough, you'll find that 95% of all of the food in the grocery store contains some sort of GMO ingredient. So the debate seems pretty clear: GMO's are good. It's not that simple though. GMO's have also been linked to a great increase in pesticide use. And that comes with increased cancer rates and deaths as well. Although many sources on the inter-web may say that GMO's are unsafe and untested, although they are fairly new, and not untested, we can consider them pretty safe, as there have been no more than 10 adverse health effects of the 350,000,000 of us in the US. So the decision is up to you reader: What should the world do? What are your opinions on GMO's, Quibbles and Nargles?

Have a great rest of yo' day! - Warbles
