Look on the bright side. In a few years, horizontal gene migration from being exposed to these modified foods will make *us* resistant to the pesticides too.
Luddism lives! Bring back the stick hoe and slash and burn subsistence farming!
Lightly salted NIMBYism, alliterative nihilism.
Like most leftist fright themes, this one will be laughed at along with all the rest lying uncomfortably in the dustbin of history.

Abstract
The effect of caffeine on cell killing, mutation induction, DNA repair, and inhibition of DNA synthesis was investigated in a donal derivative of M3-1 Chinese hamster cells after treatment with N-ethyl-N-nitro-sourea (ENU). Caffeine enhanced cell killing but had no effect on the mutation frequency/viable cells for the two genetic markers, 6-hioguanine resistance and oua-bain resistance. The removal of ethylated purine bases from DNA was as follows: most of the 3-ethyladenine was lost in 20 h (>85%) and ∼45% of the 7-ethylguanine was lost in 45 h, whereas 75–93% of the O6 ethylguanine was still present at this time. Caffeine did not seem to influence these rates significantly. The ENU-induced inhibition of DNA synthesis was reversed by caffeine. It is concluded that the potentiation of ENU-induced cell killing by caffeine is caused by the increased frequency of DNA replication past damaged sites in parental DNA.

The point? There are many things that are bad for us.
To think that Monsanto wants to purposefully harm people is absurd. Is it possible that G-Mod might end up harming people? Sure.
But I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that starving to death will surely kill you.
Fuck Monsanto anyway! 😉 And I say this having held their stock in the past and, quite possibly, in the near future! Fuck ’em hard!
You guys need to brush up on your Malthusian socialism. You do know what that is, correct?
Yes.
I don’t think Monsanto wants to purposely hurt people. But if a few people get sick in their efforts to make a buck, I doubt they will worry too much about it. Collateral damage, if you will.
I can’t disagree with that Pimp. Also, MON is well-known to sue the pants off of anyone whose fields have been pollinated from neighboring MON fields, even if they’ve never used the seed.
Well, I didn’t think they were at all bad for you to begin with, so . . . much worse doesn’t bother me a bit!
Besides (tongue in cheek) I’m not a plant (that’s a great straight line for those inclined to use it).
A couple of years ago studies showed that after three generations of mice eating GMO corn, the fourth generation was unable to reproduce. Given that Malthusian socialists in high places have been interested in population control for decades, is this just a coincidence? Is it worth just shrugging it off? And what if you are wrong in doing so… what then?
Forgot to mention that 75% of all corn products, which appear in most processed foods, are from GMO seed.
Would like to see that study. By the way, you know if you drink enough water fast enough, it will kill you? The point is, how much G-Mod corn was fed to these mice?
