If you want to reject GM, do it on the two grounds above, nothing else. Further, if you do reject, you had better explain it to the millions of people who would starve without it. Just tell them that killing monopoly power is worth their life and that you don't want to risk them starving ten years from now if their crops fail.
Now, getthephukedjamakated so you can ascertain the validity of the scientific studies that claim GM foods are dangerous.
you might like to actually get informed instead of swallowing whole monsanto inspired propaganda by researching the link between gm foods and digestive disorders , and other works by countless scientific researchers pointing to its dangers , besides the two you mentioned .
