What is the argument AGAINST GMOs?

My only criticism is that it allows corporations to copyright crop strains and penalize farmers for growing from their own crop without paying.
It terms of production, nutrition and getting resources to struggling populations, GMOs are an absolute win.

"GMOs will solve world hunger!!!"

Nope but they produce predator seeds and garbage food
@gol979

I'm not sure about predator seeds but i know part of the program usually involves increasing nutritional value, eg> golden rice.

@Pikachu GMOs were a scam for big agri to take more control over the food supply. If you want a case study, check out the indian farming industry ever since GMOs were introduced.

Predator seeds are seeds that produce fruit/veg etc with no natural seeds, so you have to go to companies like monsanto now bayer to get their seeds every season. GMOs have destroyed self sufficiency.

And the marketing tag line for GMOs was that they were going to solve world hunger. They clearly havent.
@gol979

So it sounds like the main issue is what has been discussed elsewhere in this thread which is not as much GMOs themselves as it is rampant capitalism.
