GMO?

Ok, here is my opinion on GMO:

I am not sold on GMO products causing health problems.  I think it's possible, but I don't see the evidence.
I see pros and cons and here they are:

PROS
Greater food production
More nutrition??? maybe
More resilient plants??? maybe

CONS:
Non-reproducing crops
Causing pests to become resistant to pesticides/herbicides
Monopoly
Jerk-off companies that start with the letter M suing organic farmers after M plants contaminate the organic ones
Isn't modifying genetics synonymous with playing God?

So basically I don't really think GMO is a good idea.  Apparently General Mills is as confused as myself.

Cheerios and GMOs

I think maybe you should decide for yourself and grow as much of your own food as possible.
