Farmers have to purchase GE seeds every year rather than keeping enough from this years crop for re-seeding. Do you actually think a third world farmer can afford these seeds every year? It'll be a cold day in hell when the GE seed companies give there seeds away or allow re-seeding by farmers, rich or poor.
I'm with Smooth, label products that have GMO so the consumer can decide.
