This is why the GM issue, just like any new technology should be determined on a case by case basis rather than complete bans. Even labeling is problematic when a GM banana that required far fewer pesticides could be better than the exact same banana minus 1 banana gene doused with pesticides. It makes the GM banana a pariah in the market when it would actually be the safer choice for people and the planet. I imagine GM bananas will be commonplace in a century or less, and they could be hugely beneficial and not be controlled by big ag companies either. This is the case with papaya in Hawaii.
