Well, assuming that most nations adopt a sane stance to genetically engineered food (like that's going to happen), then this would be a Good Thing. Rice is incredibly easy to grow and a large percentage of the world population is already accustomed to eating it.
How about a strand of rice high in all major vitamins and minerals? This would go a long way to help out with feeding the masses in third-world and so-called "body" nations.
