GMO crops, that contain their own strong pesticides, can pollinate with other plants. As more plants kill more than the insects that were originally targeted, it could set off a dangerous chain reaction in the environment.

It's true that there are genetic changes that happen naturally in the environment. But they happen very very slowly over tens of thousands of years. When it happens slowly, animals and humans have tens of thousands of years to adapt to it. So a symbiotic balance or ecological balance can be maintained. What industry is doing is nothing like that.

It really hurts me, but I have to agree with you on this one. Don't faint. I won't eat that %#*& either.
