5. This is one of the major arguments against GMOs but the defenders never listened

GMOs are doused in poison. That is what the company recommends as part of its sales pitch. So farmers abandon traditional practices to buy expensive seed and expensive Round Up to use on the crops because they are promised up to 40% higher yield.

But that doesn't happen, because GMOs are not as drought resistant or as high yield as the company touts. So now the soil and plants are poisoned, everything in sight is poisoned including essential soil organisms and insects. The farmer finds that even for his low crop, he cannot reuse the seed because has been modified to be one-use only. So the farmer must buy the seed every year. It's a spiraling cycle to the bottom until the farmer is quickly bankrupt.

Is that what pro-GMO defenders are advocating? Because when you attack those trying to stop these evil companies who are poisoning the land, the farmers, and our food supply, that is what you are defending.
