Science makes mistakes, but GMO foods aren't evil. The "green revolution" has pretty much reached it's end as far as making farms more productive. If we're going to let the world population continue to grow unchecked, which it seems we're going to do, since there's no move to control it, we'll have to feed all those billions.

GMO foods may be all that stand between them and the long predicted Malthusian starvation.

en.wikipedia.org

"Malthus has become widely known for his theories about population and its increase or decrease in response to various factors. The six editions of his An Essay on the Principle of Population, published from 1798 to 1826, observed that sooner or later population gets checked by famine and disease."
