I do not believe that GMO foods are inferior to conventional, but the opponents of GMO have legitimate arguments for environmental consequences, and especially for the rights of farmers to save seed that was contaminated through no deliberate action on their part. Monsanto's argument is like, if I rape your daughter and she becomes pregnant, I should be able to force her to have an abortion. That's nutty.
