Counterclaim:
What if the food harms the people rather than helping them?
How would it harm them? As far as I know there isn't any harmful chemcals involved.
Claim
Could harm the environment
Evidence/quote
The majority of GM crops are those which have been engineered to be herbicide resistant. ‘Roundup ready’ soya, produced by Monsanto, is grown extensively in North and South America. It allows farmers to spray with a toxic cocktail of glyphosate and other chemicals. This may not harm the crop – but it does create residues and run off, making it disastrous for surrounding ecosystems.
Counterclaim:
Is there a way to do the same thing without the chemicals?
I think if there was a way to manage the crop without spraying it wit pesticide, there would be.
