Well, smart-ass is as smart-ass does. Thanks for fleshing out your
objections to genemod crops- but you weren't very civil in your first

You're not likely to gain much credence here if you start out with
scatological notes and don't back up your assertions with evidence. The
burden of proof is on you- where's your beef?
Plowing up grassland (or burning down a forest) to put in crops is by
far the largest monkey wrench humans throw into the evnironment- and
you're worried about new breeds of corn? You can keep your horse
manure.
