    My other problem is that GMOs often are made for resistance to pesticides, and while that is great to ensure the harvest, the use of more and stronger pesticides is exactly what we shouldn't do, some pesticides are pretty harmless to humans, but those are not the ones GMOs are used to make crops tolerant against.

It should be noted that the increase in pesticide use is at least partially at fault for the bee colony collapse disorder phenomenon.
