Are GMO Foods the answer to solving world hunger?

And if so, then why haven't we expanded our research and application yet?

I think they have excellent possibility. The organic, environs have made it there mission to discredit and morally stigmatize this evolution in technology for their own agenda. They have done so by paying off media sources, making an obscene amount of documentary's (design to scare, not to educate) and conducting junk science. They are (in my opinion) equivalent to to the religious powers of old trying to manipulate the masses into believing the earth is flat and only 10,000 years old. Attacking an entire field or study because one company is using it to make money is disgusting and ignorant.

They are not the answer. I've said this over and over again. Here is what happens when you mix greed with GMO foods. (p.s. the people who control GMO foods are all about greed, aka Monsanto) Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZkDikRLQrw

This should concern you because this involves milk you put into your body. As for the case for higher yields in crops, they've been refuted many times. (here is more info: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94d-KVorSHM&eurl;=http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/bgh.htm - this is from the author of seeds of destruction) GMO foods right now pose more of a danger than an answer to solve world hunger.

I highly doubt you have the time but if you do this is a piece of information i recommend you look at: http://www.agassessment.org/docs/Global_SDM_060608_English.pdf

another great video to help people differentiate between GM foods and non-gm grown foods. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfeTtsaZ0pQ&feature;=related

and another one titled the "future of food" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU8XrioF4CE&feature;=related

and finally, go here if you really want to see a moving documentary: http://www.thefutureoffood.com/

And one more that I stumbled on today and have spent 2 hours reading.

http://www.etcgroup.org/en/materials/publications.html?pub_id=707

From the document: "And, as it was with biotechnology, the new technologies don’t need to be socially useful or technically superior (i.e., they don’t have to work) in order to be profitable. All they have to do is chase away the competition and coerce governments into surrendering control. Once the market is monopolized, how the technology performs is irrelevant."

And another point:

This is a must read as well.
