The GMO's are designed to work with factory farming (and to pump up the profits of Monsanto etc.) Now that we have 7 or 8 "superweeds" that are not affected by Roundup, we see that the GMO emperor has no clothes.

Small scale, diverse farming has no need for GMO's. There is a lot of risk for almost no benefit other than the ease of factory farming. And after a brief time, that is no longer the case.

Edit: factory meat & dairy farms use antibiotics and growth hormones which are truly scary - eat local meat and antibiotic & hormone free eggs and dairy. And we have yet to mention endocrine disruptors in our carpets, sofas, pajamas, food packaging, etc.
