GMOs are not interently bad, but the US crops are less nutritionally dense and have worst effects on health. They’re bred to be hardy and easy to transport, not for taste, nutrition or quality, mostly just volume and resistance to disease and pesticides.
It seems like many GMO crops can actually have more (or in some cases just different?) Nutrients. In any case, it would a balance of some sort-- 20% increase in crop yields would more than offset 10% reduction in nutrients. Though I have no idea what the actual balance is.
Won’t the non GMO crops be selectively bred for the same qualities?
BigAgri is never going to sell their farms back to the families and start selling Organic Heirlooom Beets to the factory farms for feed. GMO is just a diversion
Not always, but for staple crops I can't think of one that isn't. Sure you can say they don't need to use GMOs in a bad way but that is not what bears out in reality. Here is selective breeding against the same qualities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotton_Candy_grapes
