9. Kinda funny here

And quite ingenuine:

I’d assumed that it would increase the use of chemicals. It turned out that pest-resistant cotton and maize needed less insecticide.

What fool in their right mind would think that in the first place? This of course side steps the issue of increased roundup resistance found an easy dozen weeds.

Then there's the failure of Monsantos beetle resistant Corn, it shows up after 7 years, not really long enough for a good return. It also is a bad precedent, that a GM crop is not full proof, will we see further insect resistance in other crops? Then theres the issue of monocultures, they are a single point of failure.

ANd gee whiz the heritage seed market for home gardens has done real well.
