Monocropping really is tangential from whether or not a food is a GMO. As you pointed out, this is not a new phenomenon.

The rat tumor study is also not convincing (to scientists). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9ralini_affair

As far as I've seen, there have been quite a few studies on GMOs. Though, it seems like an odd classification to study since GMOs are all very different.

There's alot of FUD in this post

Certainly a lot of FUD on my part - nothing wrong with that, that how scientific progress should be validated IMO).

"The bizarre reports come only six months after Elsevier created a special new position, Associate Editor for Biotechnology (i.e. GMO), and filled it with a former Monsanto employee who worked for the giant Monsanto front-organization, the International Life Sciences Institute, which develops industry-friendly risk assessment methods for GM foods and chemical food contaminants and inserts them into government regulations. Sound like something wrong with this picture?"
