    Westerners have been pushing genetically modified rice on developing countries under the guise of fighting malnutrition. It sounds noble until you realize that changing the genetic structure of food is seen as preferable to distributing income so that people can buy some damn vegetables. The diet of the poor is always treated as a problem of inputs with no regard for culture or taste.
