Bt plants (like Bt corn) are specifically engineered to not require pesticides. So to start, your 99% is wildly inaccurate. Also, a lot of promising GMO projects focus around enriching vitamin content (golden rice) or making plants more drought-resistant. And about roundup-ready crops: "The EPA considered a "worst case" dietary risk model of an individual eating a lifetime of food derived entirely from glyphosate-sprayed fields with residues at their maximum levels. This model indicated that no adverse health effects would be expected under such conditions." "Early epidemiological studies have not found associations between long-term low-level exposure to glyphosate and any disease."
