This is so spot on. One further point: GMO goes hand in hand with enormous monoculture and all the pernicious consequences that entails for the system. I've seen farmers who feel a little guilty (and recognize the business risk) who will plant GMO corn from 2 different vendors, but it doesn't really add any diversity to the system. I suppose one could argue that even though the gene pool for some crops is so small, having the ability to GM means we can manually intervene if our crops develop haemophilia
