I have a PhD in Plant Genetics, if we're doing the whole credentials thing...
>They're absolutely more likely to be harmful to the environment based on the general behavior of the companies that make them
Original sin?
These companies have done bad things in the past, that doesn't mean anything they produce is bad.

2000+ studies affirm safety of GMOs, how many more do you need? : https://www.geneticliteracyproject.org/2013/10/08/with-2000-global-studies-confirming-safety-gm-foods-among-most-analyzed-subject-in-science/ https://www.geneticliteracyproject.org/2013/10/08/with-2000-...
>Most of the studies declaring them safe have industry funding at their root.
Half of all GMO safety studies have independent funding.

>Most of the studies with "impartial" funding sources declare them potentially unsafe or are inconclusive.
Yeah. That's complete BS.
The wealth of evidence for safety is crushingly large.
>I'm morally opposed to
If you are morally opposed to something why are you prefacing it with technical expertise? Really disingenuous.
Your food is not perfect. Your food is not real. Your food is not clean.
Often, your food is trying to kill you with poisons. It's contaminated with listeria and ecoli. It's a hodgepodge of traits and chromosomes that looks nothing like their wild progenitors.
