-the world is not suffering from a shortage of food just yet, it will be eventually but currently the problem lies in transportation and distribution of food.
-organic is much to expensive for a slight improvement of taste. Sometimes it doesnt even taste better.
While there are environmental concerns, those are the only valid ones [to me] against GM foods.
Meanwhile there is a diff between GM foods and processed foods. Processed food is horrible. It's the reason for so many health problems, and while it tastes good and it's convenient, it's hardly the best choice a person can make. GM foods is NOT the same. It's exactly the same as organic food but bigger! juicier! grows faster! etc etc.
How a cow is fed is not GM, treating veggies with chemicals is not GM. How bland food tastes is the fault of processing, not GM. So. Personally, I don't think GM is needed yet, distribution is what the gov should look at first. Nonetheless, it's not a bad thing. Processing is.
