There seems to be a lot of misinformation out there about GMOs. I often see people saying they're against GMOs solely for the reason that they don't like the idea of food being genetically modified, thinking there are no benefits. Foods are genetically modified to be naturally resistant to pests and to allow for higher yields. Non-GMO foods are constantly sprayed with pesticides, while GMOs do not need to be sprayed with much, if any, pesticides due to the genetic modification. Because of this, GMO foods have less pesticides and can feed far more people.
