Genetically modified foods should be banned

I agree, we need to be wary of the allergies of people among our planet, but it should be their responsibility to check up on the chemicals and ingredients used in the food they are digesting. There should be a system in place, allowing us to find the nutrition information of any genetically modified food, instantly. As to the issue regarding these GM foods creating allergies, you could use that to educate the population, just as educators use the diseases smokers acquire, to get the point across that smoking is, in fact, bad for our health. I don't think you get my point, I know that GM foods are horrible for your health, it's not negotiable and I know that. My username, "Vincit omnia veritas" is the Latin translation for "Truth conquers all" which means that no matter how hard you fight, if what you are against is the truth, it'll win over you. If I were to say that GM foods are NOT harmful to us human beings, I'd be (one) completely insane, but most importantly, I'd be going against the truth which would result in my imminent loss. My argument is that GM foods should not be banned. I know the dangers within most (a vast majority) of the artificial foods are fatal, but banning them would not be ideal. These foods were not 'invented' for the sole purpose of our consumption. Of course, some GM crops are used for foods, while others serve purposes such as: 1) Helping the plants to resist diseases 2) Forging the crops to tolerate the herbicides in the weed killer of which the farmers use without using herbicides 3) Making the plants able to maintain a healthy condition through harsh weather conditions such as droughts and cold climates 4) Helping the plants to repel pests* The list goes on. If the government was to ban GM foods, what's to stop them from banning the science of genetically modifying crops for other purposes as well? I mean, while they come up with a correct methods for these modified crops, they plant them in controlled environments, yes, but also functioning farms. This results in deaths of hundreds of animals. Also, I'd like to edit something I have said in a previous argument, the crops planted by the CSIRO were engineered to contain additional vitamins and minerals, so that the impoverished people of third world countries could rely on a single crop (as the main staple in their diet) to help prevent malnutrition. The person giving us the lecture on these crops said that while this 'batch' of plants was a success, the engineers needed to return to the crops every 3/4/5 months and inject them with the a substance - I'll call it a 'substance' but it's obviously not the correct term (the engineers modified the plants in their labs and then placed them into the countries, allowing them to grow, but then they inject the 'substance' to keep the nutrition levels up... if that makes any sense). Sorry if this doesn't make much sense to you... *Yes, we do already have anti-pest sprays but people do not like the sound of having pesticide-infested foods, as pesticides are known to harm animals as well as humans. The solution to this problem is, in fact, the GM crops, banning all GM foods would mean bringing back the sprays containing pesticides, leaving us with more problems to deal with.
