I'm not against GMO, but one thing that I think is a fallacy is the choice between GMO and heavily-pesticided products. In fact, GMO has made some plants more pesticide-tolerant, thereby increasing the use of pesticide. That's not to say GMO has also decreased the use of pesticides, but it's not just a it's-this-or-that comparison. |

You're right, I made a false dichotomy there, sorry about that.
There is at least a third choice here (non GMO, no pesticides) but it costs a lot more money, so it's not viable for farmers or anyone involved in mass producing tons of crops each year.
