@swiley While that is a reasonable take the thing is, it isnt resistant to nastier herbicides but made resistant to the herbicides farmers already use.

Glyphosate is the most common GMO resistance built into plants, it is also the most common herbicide used world wide on both GMO and non-GMO plants. The end result is GMO plants tend to grow healthier and larger in the already present herbicide, but you arent getting exposed to any new herbicides.

More importantly though, if you understand how Glyphosate resistance works you'd actually realize GMO's result in you getting considerably **less** Glyphosate not more. Glyphosate resistant plants are modified to have a special enzyme which breaks down Glyphosate and thus is unable to inhibit the pathways since it never builds up in the plant in the first place. Moreover that enzyme will continue to work even after the plant is cut and on the shelf and stops taking up new Glyphosate.

All that means a GMO plant has very little Glyphosate in its system by the time you get it, and you will consume far less of it. A regular plant however will still contain its Glyphosate and will deliver a much larger dose to you.
