GM food only way to feed starving people

The "spat" over GM foods on ethical grounds is missing the point that millions of people are starving in the world, says renowned biomaterial scientist Professor Buddy D. Ratner. The better way of increasing food production is through Research and Development in biotechnology and finding ways to increase crop yields, develop desease resistant plants, increase nutritional contents of the the plants, innovate through tissue cultures, develop technologies to grow stem cells in the body.etc. etc.  The important thing is that we do not stop progress because of some ethical fears. I don't subscribe to the notion that we ignore those concerns, rather we establish very very strict parameters within which such research is conducted. The world needs better and efficient ways of increasing food production.
