Wow mass downvote for stating an indisputable truth.

In a perfect world GMO would be to the benefit of all, including the environment. But unfortunately they are instead used to make more money on monopolized ecospheres around specific products. Allowing the use of herbicides the plants wouldn't otherwise tolerate.

But GMOs themselves are not bad, its capitalists leeching off the rest of us.

GMOs will be necessary to reduce the environmental impact of humans, because they need less space and resources, saving more for the environment.

Yes that's what I tried to say, they are not Inherently bad, they are only bad because of how the technology is mostly being used for profit.

GMOs will be necessary to reduce the environmental impact of humans,

There is absolutely potential for that, as I wrote: "In a perfect world" Meaning a world where the technology is not abused for patenting and designer herbicides.
