Mendel in the Kitchen is a good one written, unlike most of the nonsense books out there (which unfortunately are much easier to find, just search GMO on Amazon and they're the first hits), by a person with actual credentials.
Only someone who is too young to remember Rachel Carson's Silent Spring would say something so ignorant as to compare being anti-pesticide to being like an anti-vaxxer.
I mean... that would totally ignore 50+ years of empirical evidence.
DBCP, for example, shrinks testicles and causes infertility. No question.
Monsanto's Roundup is now considered a probable carcinogen.
And California is taking action to label Roundup (glyphosate) under Prop 65.
But back in 1962, when Silent Spring came out, it was mainly about DDT. And when we think back to those old pesticides or herbicides like Agent Orange (yes, I'd conflate the two for purposes of most discussions about them, but we can take them separately if you'd like) we see how many of them were considered safe and then later... whoops, not so safe.
So, I guess I don't get what you're saying. Are you trying to say that pesticides and herbicides haven't caused 10s or 100,000s of thousands of birth defects?
If so, I'd like to see if you'd be willing to start drinking and bathing in water with say, 10 ppb of Atrazine in it from now on. How do you think that'd work out for you?

P.S., if you're going to be a paid shill for Monsanto, maybe you shouldn't admit it online?
