There's less scientific reasons, and more economic reasons, as the shit Monsanto and Altina and the like do to obtain, essentially, a monopoly on the world food supply while literally starving people and rendering them so destitute that they set themselves on fire, is rather ludicrous.

Not that there aren't *some* valid ecological concerns, plus the fact that a lot of the testing is kind of half-assed, heavily influenced, and badly monitored, but the main issue is less about the food itself being unhealthy, and more about the patent power behind them being absolutely monstrous.

Cuz then you can sell the pesticides.

Granted, they are sometimes pesticides that would kill lesser plants - which is part of the point.

I've no problem with GMO's in and of themselves - we're going to need GMO's of all sorts, if we're going to continue this concentration of population. But, currently, GMO's aren't about feeding people - they about making a quick buck. At the very least, we should make it illegal to patent human modifications, as in the end, you're going to be patenting people.
