At least, everything you said sounds perfectly plausible to me. However, your solution requires massive changes in how people current do things. I don't see that happening, but as soon as you get the world to live and eat the way you want it to, I'll be all in favor of getting off GM crops. Until then, I will continue to maintain that using GM crops is good for the environment because they increase production and reduce the amount of land needed to grow food.
