In the early 90s the Agro-Chemicals-Multi Monsanto introduces genetically modified plants onto the market, which is the equivalent of an agricultural revolution for some that will solve all the world’s food problems. Others view these plants as an irrevocable destruction of bio-diversity on this planet that needs to be fiercely combated.
US Consumers Have Been Given a False Sense of Security About the Safety of Our Food Supply
You may have heard the FDA and food industry claims that genetically modified (GM) foods are safe, properly tested, and necessary to feed a hungry world. UNTRUE! Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are one of the most dangerous and radical changes to our food supply. These largely unregulated ingredients found in 60-70% of the foods in the US, are well worth the effort to avoid them.

So, it's to sell us more drugs to treat the ailments and disease that GMO foods causes in humans. That's just great. Could this also be a way for population reduction?
GMO crops have never been proven safe for human or animal consumption. Moreover, they are inherently genetically ‘unstable’ as they are an unnatural product of introducing a foreign bacteria such as Bacillus Thuringiensis (Bt) or other material into the DNA of a given seed to change its traits. Perhaps equally dangerous are the ‘paired’ chemical herbicides sold as a mandatory part of a GMO contract, such as Monsanto’s Roundup, the most widely used such herbicide in the world. It contains highly toxic glyphosate compounds that have been independently tested and proven to exist in toxic concentrations in GMO applications far above that safe for humans or animals. Tests show that tiny amounts of glyphosate compounds would do damage to a human umbilical, embryonic and placental cells in a pregnant woman drinking the ground water near a GMO field.13
One long-standing project of the US Government has been to perfect a genetically-modified variety of corn, the diet staple in Mexico and many other Latin American countries. The corn has been field tested in tests financed by the US Department of Agriculture along with a small California bio-tech company named Epicyte. Announcing his success at a 2001 press conference, the president of Epicyte, Mitch Hein, pointing to his GMO corn plants, announced, “We have a hothouse filled with corn plants that make anti-sperm antibodies.” 14
Source is the same article as above.
Monsanto, DuPont, Dow, Syngenta and other major GMO agribusiness giants are reported at the heart of AGRA, using it as a back-door to spread their patented GMO seeds across Africa under the deceptive label, ‘bio-technology,’ a euphemism for genetically engineered patented seeds.

Although GMO and pesticides may have some negative effects on our bodies, i have never seen in the news "PERSON DIES FROM EATING GENETICALLY MODIFIED APPLE!" or the same with pesticides. In fact, if it wasnt for these things, 3ish billion people, would be starving and would likely die. We would only be able to supply enough food for 4 billion people using purely organic agriculture. I would rather be slightly affected by GMO's and pesticides, than have 3 billion people die.

Wohoo! found another one of dem disinfo people!
I c a l l B S on your post. That was the line given to people to get GM crops approved, guess what? All those people are still one meal away from starvation, now they are just more broke. GM crops don't add a single vitamin or nutritional advantage over normal crops(indeed the opposite is true as GM crops are harder to metabolize).
The only thing GM crops do is allow for more dangerous pesticides because the safest and most effective pesticide was banned because it was too cheap to make.
I wonder how you sleep at night knowing you prostitute your mind out?
