Honestly the only thing that concerns me about GM crops is allowing companies like monsanto patent monopolies on seeds.

Depending on the way it’s modified, I think there’s some environmental risk particularly for soil erosion and potentially cross breeding with non-modified crops.
I don’t think these should stop us from making better food sources, but it does concern me because there isn’t much corporate incentive to adequately test for these things.
