So that's how you spell sellout. I kid. But I've always thought the problem isn't so much the genetic engineering of crops, but how companies like Monsanto (our favorite GMO demon) end up with an extreme amount of control over the food supply. You don't have to look hard to find story after story of Monsanto driving out any farmers who don't buy their seed. Over 80% of the corn grown in the US is Monsanto seed and guess what, you can't save part of your harvest for seed for the following season, you have to go back and buy new seed every season. That level of control and lack of options is what concerns me.
