Countries Hoard Food to protect their citizens from starvation or not being able to afford food.

Though it makes sense to save ones own citizens from death and malnutrition the end result creates even more worldwide problems regarding food. However, likely food hoarding by nations likely will continue.
The yahoo news article also speaks about genetically modified grains and the regulations against them by many nations. What is not spoken about is that grains created by Monsanto, for example, are making many children around the world sick. The genetically modified grains are creating a new disease that many children die from before doctors can figure out what it is. They become allergic to all food and often die of starvation before their ailment can be diagnosed.
A neighbor girl has this problem and only survived because her mother is a full time nurse.
Also, if some of the genetically modified grains interbreed with natural ones it will cause them to die after one season as many grains are created to not create new seeds in order to increase profits for Monsanto and other companies. Seed banks are important so these new 'die off' seeds don't interbreed with normal seeds. Another problem with genetically modified seeds is often they have pesticides genetically induced into the seed itself. Though it kills pests what does it do to humans?
