That's the rub, what private corporations do with crops and knowledge that are almost always the product of publicly funded research is oftentimes garbage. It isn't the GMO crops that are the problem. Just another issue where shady corporations or shady corporate policies muddle what should be a fairly cut and dry issue. GMO is the way forward, private control of GMO organisms is not. They didn't develop the crops on their own dime, they didn't develop the process on their own dime, they don't deserve any measure of control to make their own dime.
