A 6 year old, or any child, is not able to give consent to a marriage based on knowledge of what is involved in such a relationship-they are just not able to make an informed choice about marriage. Pedophilia is a medical condition and the child is not a consenting partner. People who are gay, and chose to marriage, are not being forced into a relationship.

80% of the crops in North America are GMO. Only 12% of the worlds crops are GMO
A recent peer reviewed study linked the GMO diet to tumors, premature death, organ failure, gastric lesions, liver damage, kidney damage, severe allergic reactions, a viral gene that disrupts human functions
Sustainable agricultural practices are the answer to world hunger. GMO farming practices are not sustainable. Farmers who plant GMOs are not able to save their seeds from year to year due to patent infringement and poor fertility in the seeds.
We currently grow enough food to feed 10 Billion people- which is enough to feed the world. Better infrastructure, lower food prices (being driven up by GMO high cost) and better transportation would helpt o solve world hunger.

Before we start: Farmers DO NOT WANT TO GROW THIS. http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-08/farmers-rip-golden-rice-plants-philippines
Here we go....
1. Vitamin A rice will not remove vitamin A deficiency (VAD). It will seriously aggravate it. It is a technology that fails in its promise.
2. Currently, it is not even known how much vitamin JA the genetically engineered rice will produce. Even if the rice can produce Vitamin A, it again will not help with VAD.
3. One serving of Golden rice will have 9.9 micrograms of vitamin A. The recommended daily dose of vitamin A is 750 micrograms.
4. A far more efficient rout to removing vitamin A deficiency is biodiversity and propagation of naturally vitamin A rich plants.
