There are valid arguments for and against GMO foods but this one needs more than innuendo to mean anything. Personally I think GMO foods is a potential danger to the food chain that we depend upon. I could be wrong but if I am correct and it is way in the future it could spell real disaster. I don't believe that GMO foods are of immediate danger, my worry is the extreme narrowing of food crops gene pool.

As to whether GMO foods cause degeneration of mental faculties, ethics, intelligence and aggression; who knows? That would take really extensive studies, both statistical and controlled.
