There are genetically modified crops, and there are insect repellents. Two different subjects.

I didn’t discuss insect repellents. I discussed roundup, the herbicide. GMO crops are engineered so they can be sprayed with roundup and not die. It’s an easy (but as it turns out not so cheap) way to keep weeds down in your field.
Unfortunately the crop you’re growing ends up saturated with glyphosphate. aka Roundup.

Not really. Apparently because of GMO crops the farmers are using much higher amounts of pesticides.
We eat only organic and hope for the best.
