Honestly, I am personally, all for GM foods. The benefits seem to outweigh the possible (and as yet largely unknown) negatives. Here, I've found a few articles regarding GM foods. Have a read:

This is the main problem that I have with GM foods.
Modifying crops to be resistant to pests and diseases is fine but most crops are modified just to resist chemical herbicides so farmers can just spray their entire fields with herbicides like Round-UP.
When you consume GM foods you are also consuming Round-UP and other chemicals that were sprayed on these crops.

In 2003, about 167 million acres (67.7 million hectares) grown by 7 million farmers in 18 countries were planted with transgenic crops, the principal ones being herbicide- and insecticide-resistant soybeans, corn, cotton, and canola.
