While people are defending GMOs, think about this (because sharing scientific studies that show it's harmful won't move your meters).
Why do you have to pay extra and go through silly hoops to grow organic, while GMO farms get free money in the form of subsidies?
And why do these big biotech companies make farmers purchase seeds every year, when crops naturally leave seeds for the next season?

You don't numb nuts. You're paying more for 'organic' because the guy who grew it lost half his 1 acre plot to an easily prevented parasite, on top of his total yield already being lower because his 'heirloom' seed had actually adapted to the area it was produced and sucks in his zone.

Efficiency. Have you ever seen a field after harvest when the leftover seeds sprout before the first frost? It's a clusterfrick and you have maybe half of the plants that you would have when you till the soil and plant them in rows.
