It is one thing to cross-breed, and work to manipulate and create hybrid plants, as generations before us have done, but Montsanto has taken it a step further by using chemicals, namely Roundup, to work with their seed manipulation in their laboratories. Further, the seeds manipulated by Montsanto cannot reproduce beyond the third year. Anything manipulated or created in a laboratory cannot reproduce itself. The fear is that if Montsanto has its way, soon, no seed will be able to reproduce itself, unless created in a laboratory. This is why having heirloom seeds, non-GMO is so crucial, because eventually, if Montsanto has its way, no seed will be able to reproduce further than 3 years.
Not only that, the GMO-grown food has been shown to dramatically increase cancer rates in those who consume it.
Here is an article, one of many, that you can read to learn more about GMO versus non-GMO.
