GM Luddites VS Developing Nations.

Via the UK’s Daily Mail: California-based Ventria Bioscience wants to develop a crop of rice that contains proteins found in human breast milk and saliva. The hope is that the rice could be used as a low-cost method of treating diarrhea suffering children in developing nations.

Predictably, the genetic-engineering-luddites weighed in:

GeneWatch UK, which monitors new GM foods, described it as "very disturbing". Researcher Becky Price warned: "There are huge, huge health risks and people should rightly be concerned about this."

What risks? Has anyone actually died from eating GM food? It would have made news by now if someone has. If fact it is kind of humorous to read the diatribes of GM crop critics, they list horrible predictions qualified by “may” because none of their predications has come true even though many people have already eaten GM crops.
