Another problem with GMO is that corporations end up owning and controlling farming and our food supply. I've read a little about this. Not so long ago rice farmers would plant rice seed and grow a crop with a second crop to follow, sprouted from the dropped rice left in the fields. Now that's not allowed because Monsanto owns the patents and with not allow a second grow because they want to be paid.
I read a story about an organic farmer who had his crops contaminated from adjacent GMO crops cross-pollinating their fields and they were sued by Monsanto for use of the pollination without compensating them even though it ruined the Organic crops.
