Another easy GM food to make is one that constantly creates a natural pesticide/herbicide, thus also using more chemicals.
Crops that produce these natural pesticides you're referring to are known as Bt crops. They produce a protein in their cells that is found in a microorganism in the soil, Bacillus thuringiensis. This toxin paralyzes the digestive tracts of corn borers and other pests leading to its starvation. This protein already exists in nature in great quantity and is harmless to humans, thus refuting your implications that GM crops produce and release vast amounts of harmful chemicals into the surrounding ecosystem.
