There are reasons to be concerned with GMOs that are not at odds with science. Let me quote something from a comment from a few weeks ago:<p>---- begin quote ----<p>GMOs aren&#x27;t inherently dangerous to human health or inherently environmentally destructive. But they do let producers do things faster and more extreme than they could do via conventional breeding techniques.<p>They&#x27;ve used those conventional techniques to reduce crop diversity, and select for things like uniform time to grow and uniform size&#x2F;shape to make mechanical processing easy, over selecting for things like nutrition and flavor.<p>Is there any good reason to believe that the increased power GMO techniques give them won&#x27;t be used to go even farther in those directions?<p>With great power comes great responsibility. I&#x27;m skeptical that the big food companies are responsible enough for GMO, and with government food regulation more determined by industry lobbying than by actual science I have little faith that the government will do anything to make sure GMO techniques are only used for good.<p>---- end quote ----
