You do have a point and I have to say I am not vehemently opposed to GM, particularly as it is a secondary issue.

The problem I have with your arguement is that the world could be fed as farmers in the west are subsidised to leave fields uncultivated, to produce less and even sometimes to destroy yield. Drawing attention to this as well as campaigning for better supplies of agricultural technology and techniques to the third world would a better use of time. Also stability would have to be in place in a lot of third world countries so they can get on with the important work of feeding themselves instead of privatising utilities to get loans from the world bank and having to carry out all kinds of neo-liberal policies to get money from the west.
