These are reasonable arguments. My biggest problem is that all GMO gets lumped together. Legit GM that helps increase drought-hardiness in water-starved Africa gets lumped with Roundup-GMO.

I agree my post was way over the top, but damn, you never hear anyone advocating for GM. It is all going to kill you, spread to every other plant and sterilize the whole world.

As with most things, the truth is somewhere in the middle. :)

"you never hear anyone advocating for GM."

My perception is just the opposite: it seems like the advocacy is overwhelmingly in favor of GM.

EDIT: For example, here in America, we can't even get laws passed requiring the labelling of GMOs. I'm not talking about a ban; just a law that would allow people to know whether or not they are purchasing a "Roundup Ready" crop.

Really? Who is doing all the advocating to prevent labeling of food with GM ingredients? It's completely one-sided in the industry.
