The UK government commissioned advisors connected with the GMO industry to make a report claiming that GMOs are needed to keep up the food supply.

This not only ignores the risks of GMOs, but presumes the dubious assumption that GMOs increase yields.

Many GMOs contain patented genes; when they spread to other farms, that causes patent pollution which is not a threat in the case of non-GMO crops.

Organic farmers report that contamination from GMOs is causing them substantial losses.

The widely used GMOs are designed to work with pesticides; they increase pesticide use, and this is dangerous to farm workers and to wildlife.

I do agree that each GMO raises different issues regarding safety, for those who eat it, for those who grow it, for wildlife, and for contamination of other farms.
