The fact that Monarch butterflies are killed by GM wheat is a minor
concern. The real issue is that the wheat was designed to be safe to
butterflies, but turned out to be unsafe for them. Obviously, the
original design was flawed in some way. Trusting GM foods to be safe
is like trusting Microsoft products to be secure. Past history tells
us they aren't.
This doesn't mean throw away all computers or all GM foods. But
claiming that a particular technology is always harmless is just
blind faith.
