The fact that you can travel a short distance to your local market and find a huge variety of produce year round is testament to people winning battles in the war between beneficial plants and their pests. This war didn't just start because Monsanto figured out a way to make plants adapt to inherently produce a desirable pesticide. The war actually started by the plants themselves adapting to their environment and people have been helping that process along for the last several thousand years or so. It's only recently that we figured out a much more efficient way of doing it.
