Two points.
First - lack of grain isn;t the issue primary issue. Lack of reliable infrastructure is the issue. We could ship enough grain to Somalia to feed that nation for a year at little cost. Problem is, most of it would rot before getting out of port, and the rest of it would rot while the corrupt government (if you can even call it a government) gave it to it's chosen people instead of the people.
Second - GMO grains do great things for stopping people from starving to death. Until the holier than thou crowd stops pitching a fit about protecting the natives from the GMO nightmare that is making life good in the first world - people are going to keep starving.
Guess what - I'm not going to stop eating meat, or even reduce it, until the rest of the worlds figures out how to get food from point A to point B and accepts the benefits of modern agriculture.
Peace out - going to fill up with some e85 and grill a steak...

GMO grains are patented, and equal pollen-flying lawsuits. I have no problem with the existence or cultivation of GMO grains: it is the lawsuits that companies like Monsanto file against farmers because the farmers find their crops have been ‘tainted’, accidentally crossed with GMO crops, which are patented.
