Malnutrition, Philippines and GM rice

.....and what if, for instance, the recent demise in the Bee population was eventually found to be due to the introduction of GM crops? Scientists are completly baffled by this, but if it was then by the time its discovered it will be too late. No Bees equals no pollination which i am sure you are aware would be a disaster.
Once GM crops are out there , get eaten by insects, which inturn eaten by birds and so on, who knows what effect this could have. The introduction of GM crops is like playing with fire except the results are completly unknown. Rather than being the solution to poverty and starvation they could end up being a major contributor to World poverty and starvation.
