There is no reason we should be eating Genetically Modified Foods...The natural stuff has worked quite will for thousands of years...

The advances in agricultural technology since the early 1900s have allowed the world population to almost triple. Without artificial fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, a little less than 2 billion was all the world could farm for.

Which 5 billion do you want to starve?

“fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides,” have nothing to do with GMO. Except the food factories want GMO so they don’t have to spend money on the “fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides,”

You work in the food industry and don’t want to label the food you sell. You know GMO foods won’t sell as well as non-GMO foods.

I would start with anyone who has the word 'muzlim' attached to their ideology...

All of the natural food we have will reproduce itself...A kernel of corn, an eye of a potato, a seed from a carrot or tomato...Year after year, generation after generation...

The largest seed repository in the world is now owned by Monsanto...It claims that it does sell non GMO seeds to consumers but these seeds are hybrid and won't go beyond 2 years for reproduction...

We are turning the worlds natural food into genetic Frankensteins that will not be able to be reproduced outside of a laboratory...

The Agriculture Dept. has given the creators of these Frankenseeds unlimited free reign to plant anywhere in the U.S. and cross pollination to natural foods from Alfalfa to Sweet Corn to Canola and everything in between is in danger of the cross pollination which will destroy the Earth's ability to produce and reproduce natural food...

Our food supply will be in the hands of a few scientists within big business...NO THANKS...

Virtually all commercial GMOs are engineered to withstand direct application of herbicide and/or to produce an insecticide. Despite biotech industry promises, none of the GMO traits currently on the market offer increased yield, drought tolerance, enhanced nutrition, or any other consumer benefit. From here...

So your 'world starvation scare' is just that...And unwarranted scare...There are millions if not billions of acres that lay idle that could pick up farm production requirements to allay any food shortage problems that may occur in the near future...
