Monsanto, in particular, is trying to spread GMO seed all over the world. These products do not live up to their promise of increased yield and in fact produce LESS than non modified seed does, not to mention that they contaminate and forces out other varieties of crops. This, obviously, only contributes to the hunger problem and loss of biodiversity in our food supply. Mr Diamond, AgriBusiness is already trying to control world food production.

There is definitely enough food being produced to feed all. It's just not profitable. I do agree with him that family planning is a good thing & something well worth putting our efforts & the great wealth of the United States into helping promote.
