1. GM enslavement of the poor
One of the hidden facts about GM crops is that they will enslave farmers to the seed companies. Farmers cannot save GM seed. It's illegal. They must buy new seed every year.

One farmer is North Dakota has been sued becuase his own crops had become contanimated by GM crops, and they tried to tell him he could not keep his own seed for re-use.

This is the equivalent of the campaign of companies by Nestle' to get third world mother's hooked on powdered baby formula in past decades.
