First, what do you mean by "offer"?
Most seeds (also non-GM) are made sterile so the farmers must buy new seeds every year. Otherwise the farmer could save a part of his crop to use as seeds the next time.
And no, many GMOs are not poisenous, they are just engineerded in such a way that you'll need less (or no) insecticide/herbicide/fungicide, wich seems good...until you find out the plant is designed to produce the X-icides on its own.
And many consumer interest organisations in Europe hold the view that IF you allow GM food, that the consumer should be able to READ it on the label. But the manufacturers don't want that even though they claim the food is perfectly safe...
The American GM industry (and it's disciple, the USA Government) want the Europeans not only to accept GM food but also not to know when they eat it.
A free market can only exist when buyers can make fully informed choices.
Believing the results from a commercial IQ test isn't very smart...
