These companies oppose gmo labelling...

When you genetically modify a crop, all you are doing is growing a new plant from a culture wih one gene altered. It is extremely precise, and everything else about the plant remains unchanged. It's a good idea, and has the potential to help us produce the food we need, but there are probably simpler solutions, like consuming less resources and having less children to reduce the burden.
People cling to the idea of GM because it would allow them to carry on living their "normal" lifestyle.
