If you don't want GMO grain, you better find a way to triple the land avaliable for farming. It simply isn't feasible. Herbicide can be done without. But thanks to high diesel prices, which is armed robbery considering diesel is a BYPRODUCT of gas production, cultivating is more expensive than spraying. Then there's pesticides and fungicides. Without them it is extremely easy to almost completely lose a crop. There is a huge list of things that are far more unhealthy for you than grain that has been genetically modified. Focus there.
GMOs are POISON. I get your points completely, but GMOs need to GO.
GMOs are designed to alter Human beings genetic structure, so energy from the source flows in a corrupted manner, causing all manner of diseases. It disrupts the body and it's Harmonic resonance.
It is quite deliberate and NOT safe. Don't feed it to your kids if you can avoid it. Sadly it is in EVERYTHING. Shut the gate, the Horse has bolted... <
I'd like to see any evidence of that. GMOs are altered to be resistant to herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides. That's why we can harvest 250-300 bushel per acre of corn now and almost never lose a crop unless it's to weather conditions, when before, 100 bushels per acre was considered unbelievable and insects and fungus could cause serious shortages. Now, let's say you're right, and they are making further alterations. The only solution is to obtain control of, or start, a seed laboratory and only give the grain the needed resistances for production. And frankly, although I can see a company like Pioneer doing some jewy shit like that, I very much doubt that the smaller companies are. That would be a major waste of their money and they have no motivation to do it in the first place.
GMOs are altered to be resistant to herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides
Most GMOs are altered specifically to be resistant to glyphosate, which is highly toxic to humans not to mention how fast it's changing the human gut biome, which is radically changing human cognition, and not for the better.
I won't argue that Roundup is definitely very bad for people. Herbicides can be done without. Mechanical tilling is effective, but due to fuel prices, no longer competitive. I have a 4 acre sweet corn patch every year that I use mechanical cultivation on with my classic 1959 John Deere, because it's safer and enjoyable. I plant it with a 1962 2 row planter as well. But looking on a large scale, how do we replace insecticide and fungicide? I don't have an answer for that question.
We don't replace them since they are a byproduct of war (basically started by re-purposing nerve gas after WWII), perhaps we need to create more small scale farms in each community (with indoor hydroponics for areas with harsh winters?) and learn to do companion planting and utilize nature's inherent resiliency.
Decentralize everything, especially farming. And of course farmers deserve to be paid more than many other professions that we could easily live without.

OH REALLY!
TRUTH IN LABELING PLEASE. IMMEDIATELY. NO GMO. >
Thank you.

Exactly this. Everyone needs to learn to farm for their fucking selves, or pay the farmers more.
