To the Editor:

Re "Not All Industrial Food Is Evil"(column, Aug. 18):

Mark Bittman makes a crucial point: the need for an international minimum-wage structure.

Based on purchasing power rather than on currency exchange rates, and firmly enforced by treaty through the World Trade Organization, the World Health Organization, the World Bank and the United Nations, such a wage structure could raise living standards everywhere and diminish the incentives for low-skill economic emigration.

In fact, the cost savings in reducing that kind of emigration could offset the costs of imposing an international living-wage structure.

Along with raised living standards come improvements in health and reduced fertility rates. The international minimum wage is an essential and ultimately very profitable component of future international trade.
