Yeah, I know, built in pesticides, which we get to eat, yum.

Whether or not they are applied or built into the genes it's still pesticide, GMOs require more disease prevention than natural crops.

And yes, we've seen that pests are adapting to the chemical defenses, just as antibiotics have triggered evolution of bacteria.

Are you trolling or do you just not understand genetics at all? I only quoted this statement because it illustrated the point, but everything else you've said in this thread is not only completely untrue, but quite literally fricking retarded.

Stop to think for 10 seconds... Why would anyone waste millions of dollars on research to make a plant that is inferior in every way?
