Maybe you haven't thought this through. So, you think it would be a good idea 
to amend the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which guarantees freedom 
of speech, one of America’s most fundamental rights. The right to free speech 
encompasses both the right to speak as well as the right to refrain from 
speech. Go figure.

The problem with poorer countries with GMO crops is just this — sharing seeds, 
or using seeds harvested from GMO crops. However GMO seeds from GMO crops are 
used under license. Monsanto says they have sued 147 farmers out of 325,000 
customers in the United States for patent infringement. I personally think GMO 
crops could have potential dangers, but the TMO doesn't want them because they 
want to sell their mumbo-jumbo farming techniques, which so far do not seem to 
have any kind of scientific track record for improved yield or food quality or 
cost benefits over conventional organic farming techniques.
 

 I also think lack of diversity will be a big problem. This happened even 
before GMO technology, or even hybridising crops because we select what we like 
to eat and want to grow it without a lot of trouble.

 Exactly. I think the thing that worries me most about GMO's is that the world 
food supply ends up in the hands of bio-tech companies. Farmers in the third 
world have already been sued for sharing last years seeds among themselves 
rather than buying new ones from the manufacturer, along with the pesticides 
they are designed to work with.
 
 
 Keeping food strains strong via interbreeding by sharing seeds will be a thing 
of the past in our brave new monoculture world.

Hybridization of species is far different from splicing genes from a 
non-plant species which bio-tech companies do.  We really have no idea 
what the long term effects of that is.

Exactly. I think the thing that worries me most about GMO's is that 
the world food supply ends up in the hands of bio-tech companies. 
Farmers in the third world have already been sued for sharing last 
years seeds among themselves rather than buying new ones from the 
manufacturer, along with the pesticides they are designed to work with.


Keeping food strains strong via interbreeding by sharing seeds will be

Thing is companies do this genetic modification because they are 
desperate for making money.  And if they don't do it then someone else 
will and then their stockholders will be in an uproar.  The real beast 
is capitalism.

Good ideas. And barely scratching the surface of possibilities. For example, if 
they had been able to genetically engineer Maharishi to have a bigger dick and 
a smaller ego, none of those damned Maharishi Towers Of Invincibility would 
ever have been necessary.  :-)
