I don’t object to it in general, but my understanding is that in practice most GMOs are designed for pest/pesticide resistance, which can select more aggressive pests, and that’s not good for plant diversity. There are also some pretty awful issues with patents/copyrights, and problems with the specific pesticides many of the GMOs are intended to promote. Good GMOs are definitely possible, but when the majority of GMOs are under control of evil corporations like Bayer-Monsanto I cannot consider myself pro-GMO.
