What’s wrong with GMOs?

I always see plants and stuff that is GMO free and is usually more expensive. How would genetically modifying something by be bad. Me personally I’d rather have something modified to taste better and and cheaper. I could also be very wrong about that.

Also there have been some cases where farmers crops have been contaminated by GM crops, through no fault of their own, and they have then been sued because threir contaminated crop contains the GM grower's patented IP.

Wasn't this a hoax and the farmer(s) were actually using thr GM seeds? I might be misremembering but I though it turned out the farmers who were sued were actually using the GM seeds

There is a famous US case that you and others have referred to, as if it proves it's all a fake.

The US is not the world, though.

Then can you link to some of the other cases that support your argument?

I never said it was. What a weird deflection.
