GMO crops have developed a following of Roundup resistant pests. So they bathe the crops in the stuff. It's a poison. Suppress the immune system -- and what happens?

Also note that effects of ingesting GMO foods are widely suspect in independent studies. Industry studies, none of which went for more than 90 days, are the only ones considered by agencies. For a good, but more developed parallel, see fracking.
