> It's not about the GMOs themselves but if you can grow the same/a sufficient amount of food without using pesticides at all, then why even bother with GMOs?

> It's not about the GMOs themselves but if you can grow the same/a sufficient amount of food without using pesticides at all, then why even bother with GMOs? But you can't. For example, organic farming uses much more pesticide and herbicide than the same GMO crops do. There is a persistent myth that organic doesn't use herbicides and pesticides but it is not in any way true and never has been. But +1 to the marketing department for implanting that persistent idea in the mind of the general public.
