Genetically altered seeds?

With all the talk these days about organic food, food grown on steroids, and genetically altered food, many people begin to wonder about the food they are eating. I was reading about one company, Monsanto, which produce genetically modified plant seeds that are a great for farmers for various reasons. They are not affected by some weed killers, keep bugs and pests away much better than regular seeds, and also much more. All this combines for a great looking seed to a farmer, so they have been doing great in their business.

I think this is a good idea for a company, and I don't see any problems with it. Many people are not approving of this, and they say it is unhealthy and unnatural, but I think we should use the technology we currently have to make the best of our agricultural field. This company isn't doing s great for nothing. It makes the farmers' jobs easier, and it also helps supply the growing population with food, so I think it is a good idea.
