Distribution problem

From the report in the South China Morning Post, on December 7 headlined, 'Age of ethics dawns for a GM giant', we see that 'biotech heavy' Monsanto has finally seen the light over cross-species genetic modification of food plants. But surely there was something amiss with the company's original hype about feeding the world's needy.

There isn't a food production problem on this planet, only a distribution problem but that's not an acceptable idea to the 'haves' of this world.
