RE: Could Genetically Modified Food End World Hunger?

If we forget about the is GM food good or bad and look at the fact that it can be patented is the scariest part. Nothing like a company owning the food supply and making it illegal to grow your own food.

Quite agreed.

I'd further bring the focus to bear upon the nature of patents themselves.

Patents are necessary but not in their current form. They currently can be and are abused by the opportunistic to stifle and leech off of the creative, and are more accessible to the rich than the poor to begin with.
