Most varieties of unpolished rice actually do have beta carotene, it is polished rice that doesn't have any beta carotene. Numerous other crops that can be grown in developing countries that are already available have beta carotene an other nutrients. Also most studies suggest organic farming increases nutrient content in food, has higher yields in poor countries, is more profitable than transgenic crops(like Golden Rice) and therefore reduces poverty(main cause of hunger) in poor countries.
Conventional breeding has created numerous nutrient enhanced crops with high levels of beta carotene(Orange Maize, Orange Sweet Potato, High Beta Carotene Tomato, etc.), these are better solutions than Golden Rice, but you probably never heard of them. You heard of Golden Rice because the Council for Biotechnology Information spent millions of dollars advertising Golden Rice, instead of spending that money to actually help hungry people with vitamin A deficiencies.
Polished rice(what Golden rice was made for) may be linked to increases in diabetes. nih.gov/researchmatters/june2010/06282010diabetes.htm Africans may already be more prone to diabetes. diabetes.diabetesjournals. org/content/52/4/1047.short Native African crops like Cleome gynandra have beta carotene and other nutrients. Why give Africans $100,000,000 polished GM rice and maybe increase diabetes, instead of Cleome gynandra they already have for Vit A?
Hi, it is really good, but maybe you could add some sources, which you built your movie on, becaus I can't say in my school report that I used a clip from youtube by a guy named Alex Handley (no offense) without they grade me low because the source isn't reliable (according to them).
u made it soo simple!!...thanku!!! :)

Hi, it is really good, glad you wrote down the source to the text, now i can use it in my schoolwork and refer to you and the museum :)
