"In 2006, 252 million acres of transgenic crops were planted in 22 countries by 10.3 million farmers. The majority of these crops were herbicide- and insect-resistant soybeans, corn, cotton, canola, and alfalfa. Other crops grown commercially or field-tested are a sweet potato resistant to a virus that could decimate most of the African harvest, rice with increased iron and vitamins that may alleviate chronic malnutrition in Asian countries, and a variety of plants able to survive weather extremes."
Well, enough about the benefits of GMO. What I'd like to know, from anybody reading this who is against it:
Why are you against it? Please, I would like to know. I can't understand the level of resistance.
Am I missing something? Is there something I didn't read? Thanks.
