Most folks think that GMO plants are simply hybridized to resist bugs, weed killer etc; they need to know that these seeds are sliced genetically with bacteria (to produce a bug resistant characteristic) other biologics (frogs)and organic chemicals to provide weed killer resistance/tolerance. These genetic splices create non-natural components to the products derived from the crop.

With little or no testing for long term impacts, if any, are simply unknown. That’s the way big ag and the big gov like it. Lots of food, but little awareness of any potential harm.

A big after-affect is that many of these GMO plants cannot reproduce-potentially resulting in monopoly of food production....

This is a very nice summary. I would add that GMO plants also produce their own pesticide and the heavy use of pesticide results in soil that is robbed of normal microorganisms.

If the plants produce their own pesticide, that means the farmer doesn't need to use pesticide and the soil is pesticide free. That's a good thing.
