We have "genetically modified" our foodstuff since the beginning of humanity. Until the middle of this century, it was a relatively slow process accomplished by cross pollination and selective breeding. Farmers would plant seeds from plants that produced well or were disease resistant. They would breed animals that fattened quickly, tasted better, and didn't get sick. Everything else got eaten or castrated.

What is done in the lab today is really no different. We get better food that grows in a wider variety of environments and is more profitable for the producer.

Unless one subscribes to the OWS style belief that Monsanto is the personification of a big, evil, capitalist corporation making profit at the worlds expense, I really don't see a problem.

Yes, it is. We didn't have Monsanto at the begining of human history engineering Round-Up into the DNA of seeds

Monsanto is one corporation, that really deserves it's negative reputation.
