After watching this the point that sticks out most to me is that we have enough food in the world to end poverty, it's the allocation of resources that is the problem. Since this is the case I don't see any need for GMOs at all. We can create enough food as it is already. GMOs have had very little long term research done on them, and we don't know what they do inside our body. Instead of focusing on researching GMOs, we should be spending money to actually end poverty by creating an infrastructure to move food to places where it's needed most.
Our biggest failure as a nation is allowing companies that produce GMOs to conduct their own research. A company wants to sell its' product, so they will take the data, or parts of the data that make them look the best and use it as their findings. Seed company Monsanto has conducted its own studies on their GMO corn, and came to the conclusion that it was safe.
If you are interested in finding out more about GMOs and their health risks, this is a video presenting the findings of independent researchers on Monsanto's corn GMO.
You may write responses to this video as well if you would like.
(The term "Roundup" or "Roundup Ready" in the video refers to a type of GMO that is resistant to glyphosate, an herbicide, allowing farmers to drench their crop with glyphosates killing all the weeds but not the crop. This GMO does not stop the plant from absorbing the herbicide however.)
