GMOs destroy dna, cause disease, and are just bad, mmkay.

They also line the pockets of big industry while destroying the little guy.

They contaminate existing seeds, this contamination can never be reversed.

They require more pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.

The same people that said Agent Orange, DDT, and PCBs are safe are now telling us GMOs are safe.

Despite perceptions, GMOs do not increase crop yield.

They have less nutrients.

And about 107 other things that are bad about them.

Sleeping Tiger, riddles me this. How the hell are these huge companies making money with a product that cost them a shite load more to produce according to your post?

If everything you listed were true, i'd imagine the GMOS would just be too costly to produce.

Most of this is speculative or has been proven to be inaccurate.

Actually that is not the always the case, one of the results of GMO for corn and beans is the plant itself produces chemicals that help to repel pest thus lowering the need for pesticides. Not sure how much of this has been approved for commercial farming but I know scientists have planted these GMO's and they work, could be planted all through the country don't know! I know they're messing with nature, at some point the pests will adapt to deal with the GMO corn and beans just like bacteria have become resistant to antibiotics.
