The bad seed: GMO appears to be...a problem.

Corporately engineered seed begins to create frankenweeds and insects. as this Reuters article recaps.  The issue isn't a small one because there are places in the world where whole populations of agrarian people are suffering from kidney failure after years of chemical 'problem-solving' in their fields.   The 'grail' of 'Roundup (c) resistant' plants and their cousins has continuously raised concerns from local communities---genetic hybridization between genetically treated plants and other plants and animals is not farfetched.  In Oregon, organic and other farmers in the Valley have tried, with little success,  to block approval of similar GMO crops such as GMO canola.  

The issue isn't small, simple, or easy to solve.
