I think there are a lot of misconceptions about GM crops, most people think they are modified to be resist/repel vast types of insects/pests and what not, this is in average not the case and very complex to implement, what they are really engineered for is simply to be very resistant to specific pesticides, very easy to control/predict as you have to target only the few chemicals that you spray. Unfortunately we all know what this means... tenfold increase of pesticides and faster destruction of the environment. Not to say that there aren't GM modifications in that direction, but it's not the norm.
