Personally I have no objection to GMO crops per se, although I consider the particular application of engineering herbicide resistant strains that are intended to be drenched in herbicides during normal use to be a particularly dubious idea that should probably be banned from the human food chain. Not because it's GMO, but because it's subjected to and creates incentive for excessive use of herbicides.
However, we're talking about Monsanto. Considering their corporate history, I suspect that if they researched two strains of wheat of which one gave people cancer and the other one was more profitable, they'd market the carcinogenic one. The company is the posterboy for corporate death penalty. As long as they exist and remain a significant player in the field of GMO I fully support bans against GMO foods. Not because GMO foods can't be safe, but because Monsanto isn't.
