I myself am not in favor of genetically modified foods.

However, genetically modified foods tend to keep grocery prices lower, and the primitives are always squawking about "high" grocery prices.

For me, this is one of the most confusing things about the primitives; they want to have things both ways--pure food and cheap food--when one can have only one thing or the other thing, not both things at the same time.

One can have either natural food that's not cheap, or cheap food that's not natural.

I'm for some of the GM crops, just because they could save lives in the third world countries if they were allowed.  Some of the research done in making vegetables higher in vitamins , making them able to grow in harsher climates and such.

Not to mention breeding in resistances to herbicides in addition to natural predators. Meaning less insecticides and herbicides are released into the environment.

It was Monsanto, one of the most demonized companies on earth, that developed glyphosate - one of the most common and yet innocuous herbicides in use today.
