(55,894 posts)are all literally the same genetically. Growing acres of a crop that is all genetically exactly the same is insane.

That is basis reason #1
Basic scientific reason #2. GMO's rely on pesticide which poisons our environment
Basic scientific reason #3. GMO's rely on chemical fertilizer which also poisons our environment
