The latest issue of MIT tech review,
Sept/Oct has the batch of letters to
the editor that go with the "Biotech
goes Wild" article.

I found a couple good thoughts:

One fellow suggested that pest susceptibility
genes are being squandered...there was a longer
letter from the president of BIO...another
letter writer mentioned the food distribution
network as being the real problem behind feeding
the world...and the letter that stood out the
most suggested that "Any kind of agricultural
'green revolution' which is not accompanied by
effective population control merely resets the
limiting parameters at higher levels and enables
countries with a large proportion of starving
citizens to increase the absolute numbers of
starving people". That last one was from P.L.
Abplanalp, a professor of anatomy.

Very good letters all, and folks might check out
both issues.
