> food has grown and can grow naturally It most certainly can, but it hasn't for tens of thousands of years. People have been genetically modifying food and growing it in non-natural ways for as long as we have had agriculture. If we could somehow turn to clocks back to a pre-agriculture food supply, do you feel that it would be viable to keep the current human population alive? Keep in mind that the crops we grow today didn't even exist back then, and only came to exist through thousands of years of genetic modifications.

No they didn't. Genetic modification is not the same thing as crossbreeding. And what they did always happened with regards and love for the environment. They produced crops that brought balance and harmony in nature so they always had fresh and healthy food. They didn't use artificial fertilizers or pesticides nor they messed with the DNA sequence manually for shady purposes. Have you seen a goat or sheep eating its way through a field of weed? They eat and poop at the same time as they move around. That's an example of a natural fertilizer, cleansing and ploughing tool. It's the obsession of first-world countries wanting meat every day on the table. That is unnatural. That is disturbing harmony and that is why we need chemical pesticides and genetic modifications and that is why these countries have an excess rate of cancer in comparison to those that still grow food in their yards naturally. So stop calling natural agriculture genetic modification. That's an argument Monsanto and the likes brought to the table to mess with your mind and justify their cause and is completely invalid.

  Okay, let's put it another way. The Dekalb company is 100 years old. They are in the business of crossbreeding, attempting to produce better traits each year in the same way famers did thousands of years ago. Do you feel that they do so with love? If you answer no, at what point did agriculture lose that love, if more than 100 years ago? > Have you seen a goat or sheep eating its way through a field of weed? I have never seen a field of weed with or without animals in it. Such a field would be illegal in my country. (Sorry, I couldn't resist)
