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.
