I'm wondering if you're for real asking this. From my understanding you essentially need to buy a license (every year) to grow genetically modified crops. If all farmers rely on this then it becomes almost like a drug. The manufactures of the GM seeds can increase prices at will. This is only the tip of the ice berg on an economic level. What about enviromental affects? ..or the affect these modified products will have on ppl? There is enough food to go around, it just doesn't get around. Making ppl think that in the end food will be cheaper doesn't mean your going to feed all the hungry ppl on this planet.
