Prince Charles said NO to genetic modified food!

I just read this article where the author explains Prince Charles's opinion about genetic modified food. The prince says that the genetic modified food could be "the biggest environmental disaster of all time" because it affects not only small farmers but also the whole humanity because this is not a sure science yet so the companies have to try different methods to manipulate the food, but if one of this method fail, there could be several consequences.

At the end of the article there are a little debate about the genetic modified food. One side says that there are a lot of benefits. For example, less cost, improve production, and feed more people in the world. But the other side says that there could be problems to the people who eat that kind of food. This food also can affect the ground, water or the environment in general.
