It’s not the GMO’s so much as the “why” they GM’d it in the first place.

They made it so that the plant could be saturated in roundup without killing the plant.

Then we eat the roundup. 100 million pounds a year.

These posts about Monsanto are uneducated. These insecticides mentioned are not genetic and in fact, are the opposite of genetic. Corn seeds coasted with this neonicotinoids are allowed in Australia, but not the genetic seeds produced by Monsanto. These insecticides are produced by Bayer of Germany and compete with the genetics. In fact, genetic seed would help eliminate the use of these neonicotinoids.

And this is an old theory, has been around since 2008.
