You are missing the core issue about gmo's. Once they are in the environment, the gmo's contaminate non-gmo crops, via the wind, pollinators, etc. This contamination cannot be controlled. How can I protect my non-gmo corn seeds from being contaminated? I can't. In the not-so-distant future, if I want to be sure I'm not eating gmo corn, I'll have to stop eating corn entirely.

Demonizing fertilizer because it contains nitrogen, and many types have explosive properties...

Why not call water evil because it contains hydrogen, which after all is an important part in thermonuclear bombs.
