Golden rice fixes vit A deficiency, but nothing else. Since the target populations tend to have a general pack of nutrition, and not just a vit A deficiency, it seems odd to release a patent encumbered GMO (golden rice has something like 70 patents from 30 companies).

Camapigning from the hippies, but also from WFP and WHO, mean that terminator genes aren't going to be used, and that farmers will be allowed to reuse the seed, and that the manufacturers will do more testing.

Especially since you're probably going to continue supplementing iron and zinc and iodine you may as well keep supplementing with vit A and not releasing the GMO.
