GMOs Don't = Higher Yield
For those who may be confused by Bob Esse's comment that without GM products, the world will surely see a food shortage, that comment is misinformed. The only thing that GMOs accomplish (and not very well as it turns out) is making the plant resistant to pests (built in pesticides) and controlling the weed population. GMOs do not have any benefit to crop yields. As it turns out, pests are becoming resistant to the genetic modifications and so are the weeds, so much so that crops are being doused even more heavily with increasingly stronger cocktails of dangerous chemicals. GMOs have zero benefit to the consumer, zero.
