Your false propaganda:

“twice the number of chickens fed Liberty Link corn died;”

The truth:

“This is another example of Smith being so anxious to make a case against GM crops that he misinterprets as a problem an observation that is evidence of safety. The death rate in this report was normal for poultry research facilities and demonstrates that no meaningful biological difference exists between the control corn and experimental GM corn. What’s more, in the decade since this corn variety was registered, several other LL corn varieties have been commercialized. Regulatory scrutiny of these LL corns required extra feeding trials (with both rats and farm animals) that Smith does not mention. This extensive history of laboratory testing, and practical experience in the meat and poultry industry stretching out more than ten years, provides additional assurance about the safety of LL corn going far beyond the case taken up by Smith.”

“Mortality was normal for this fast-growing strain of bird, where at our research facilities we normally see values of 5 percent to 8 percent in male broilers.”

Did you bother to check their sources? The one (21) they source for rats and tomatoes turns out to be a link to one about rats. BTW, the info in the potato source turns out to be bogus also.
