It's not. It's more advanced, and yes, it's better.

You know, more technology becomes available, you use it to make life better for everyone. Monsanto execta can go pound dicks, but in principle, GMO food is perfectly fine, safe, and healthy. If anything, it'll be more healthy (more vitamins), more plentiful as new crops can withstand droughts better, etc. etc. etc.

So far the only counter argument to that that I've heard here is "nuh uh!"
