Not legitimate problems with GMOs:
- They’re “frankenfood” or “dangerous” or “playing God.”
Legitimate problems with GMOs:
- Artificially sterile seeds which force farmers to buy new seeds from with every crop from corporations which have a monopoly on said seeds. Especially harmful for smallholdings farms.
- Like pesticides, pest-resistant GMOs become less effective at deterring pests over time due to natural selection.
licensing seeds which are then given away as a trial, then requiring farmers to either purchase the license again or destroy their entire crops. This is what at least one GMO corporation did in the wake of Haiti’s natural disaster.
