Many people are concerned about Monsanto genetically engineering food crops; however, there is no evidence that genetically modified food is harmful to your health. That is to say, at least the plant is harmful to humans.

On the other hand, Monsanto developed Roundup — a commercially available herbicide (also known as Glyphosate.) Roundup has been proven to be harmful to humans. By developing a Roundup-tolerant crop, isn’t Monsanto promoting the use of the herbicide?

Also, the development of similar resistance in some weed species is emerging creating Monsanto-resistant plants.
