Pakistan is turning the irreversible corner

Pakistan is entering the world of GMOs. Monsanto's pursuit of the global market share for seeds is scary for several reasons.

1) GMOs are bad for biodiversity and biodiversity is the cornerstone of human civilization.
2) Farmers in the developing world do not have the knowledge capacities required for managing GMOs and their required inputs.
3) Higher yields don't always mean more profit. In the case of GMOs higher yields often mean higher fixed costs for farmers. They will be required to purchase more seeds, herbicides, and fertilizers. GMOs really mean higher profits for multi-nationals and more debt for farmers.
4) GMOs may be bad for our health. The jury is still out. But a simple word of wisdom applies to GMOs that we should all listen to more often. "If man made it, don't eat it."
